As clean as they are going to get. Carbon build up is a pain to clean.

Maybe they will get sanded tomorrow.

This is what happens when you have an 11 month old and are in the process of buying a house.

Sanded and mounted up for paint.

This should be a great look !! What type of paint ??

it’s just high temp engine paint from Autozone.

I’m not sure it’s even necessary as the tips aren’t connected to the exhaust and I’d image the exhaust gas cools quickly as it passes through the tips.
