what if i line-xed my exhaust system???
would it just melt off and smell???
would it keep it from rusting???( i just put on new parts from ace, made it myself)
or
would it work???

 

i would bet it would melt and smell very bad... i wouldnt do it

 

ya i thought so

 

It may or may not melt. You'd probably have to do some research on the rubber they use and the temperatures the exhaust gets up too.

I'd ask line-x on their opinion of the idea.

on my ATV i took stuff made to paint BBQ grills and painted my whole exhaust, it gets pretty hot and doesnt flake, fade, or peel

linex and most bedliners is just a tar like substance untill it dries, and im sure its not able to handle that kind of heat...

 

it will melt off and there's a slight chance it could catch onfire

 

id say theres a very good cahnce youd be cruising down the highway like a lil torch as your exhaust system burst into flames.

 

yea tar= stinky..i hate the smell...dont do it or u might be putting your ranger on the total loss list......u can paint it with the high temp engine paint i sprayed a part of mine black tosee what it would do and it was fine i want to paint it all now...

 

Do it, then you can get a new truck

 

ROTF!

 

Why would you even wanna do that?

so it wont rust, Bluhhhhhhh


besides once you go clack you never go back.....to rust

 

Why not use the POR 15 hi temp paint? I hear it does pretty well and there is some different colors to chose from. My 2 cents.

 

i was thinking of that first but

some people had weird ideas for line-x and i tought i would also add my idea to the list

 

Heres a look at my ATV muffler, i did the whole exhaust, but no pics of it....It was black.....then it was rusted as HELL .....i mean covered in old mud that wouldnt come off, and crap.....sanded like 10% of it....and sprayed it down with that paint and it gets HOT but hasnt peeled, cracked, or looked like crap......

High temp paint still ends up cracking and flaking off, i did it to my 1st car's exhaust and looked like crap.....


This stuff is made from something else...

Rocky

 

maybe i should bust out a can of that for my quad exhaust.

 

Well as you can see from that picture, i just rebuilt my quad, had all the plastics off, painted the bottom with bedliner to clean it up and make clean up easier....painted the exhaust and rims, and also painted other stuff with that heated exhaust stuff to make it match

Rocky

 

yeah mine looks like poo, and its like 95 % plastic...dang bombardier.

 

@ boiling temp. the bedliner will start to give. Had this question come up with a customer here at the shop, did a lil research on it. Sounds like the BBQ paint would be the way to go!
