Author Topic: How to clean oil out of exhaust? SEMPERFI510 ¯ Member # 627 posted                              I have longtubes and matching shorty hpipe. When my car blew it was shooting a lot of oil in my exhaust. Does anyone know where or how to clean it. I tried gunk cleaners and carb type cleaners but it is still on there. Any ideas?

Or do i put it on first and clean it like that? I don't want oil residue on my pipes.

If it's a HUGE amount of oil thats already dried, you can use a wire brush, but if its just small deposits I wouldn't bother.

I might get a steam cleaner in them this weekend. Thanks for the input. johnny Posts: 1766 | From: San Francisco, CA | Registered: Dec 2001  |  : Jdub07 ( O Y O ) Member # 2728 posted                              just put the headers on and run the car like that till it burns out. That way you wont get any deposits on your bumper and you'll sound like an F'n nascar at the same time!!! Then when its all burned out put the rest of the exhaust on.
