Default Best Way to Clean "DIRTY" Exhaust Pipes??

I have a few pipes that really need to be cleaned and wanted to know what the best way to go about would be. I have heard that anti-freeze in a crockpot works well but wasn't 100% sure so I figured I would ask. Thanks.

Why not using the search tool on this forum. That topic is discussed so many times......

Wouldn't it have been just as easy to post a reply to my question instead of redirecting me somewhere else.

We use a old crock pot filled with antifreeze. Let them sit in there on high heat for a few hours.

Thank you for the reply. Is there any issue with fumes using this method?

For you it is the most easy way to answer your question, for the most of us it is easier to find and read all those other toopics about pipe cleaning....

It has nothing to do with being lazy but more so not having all day to spend on here using the search function. I was at work and only had a very limited amount of time to be on so a simple post with a few simple replies is all I needed. There are a million questions on here that have been asked a million times but without questions and posts then the site dies.

Thanks for posting all the links though but a simple answer would of been enough.

Joe, the antifreeze does work. You must use the green at full strength and be sure to do it outside of the house and your hardcoat pipes it will change the color or make them ugly but it still will get them clean. Now go rock that new Losi this weekend at State Line.

Must be super busy, as you didn't even have enough time to properly spell Picco in your signature.
