Easiest way to clean the inside of pipe is to submerge it in a crockpot full of anitfreeze. Turn it on high with the lid on for 2-3 days, then polish the exterior with an aluminum/mag polish. You may think about buying a dedicated crockpot for this as you probably don't want to cook with it afterwards.

Monty, (or anyone else)
I keep researching motors for this year...I keep coming back to the P5XLT full monty and now the X3 Full Monty. The mill is going in a AE 8.2 and I have the following pipes 9901ss with 21 header, Orion 2058, and a Dynamite 086.
$ for $ they seem to match up equal to each other as far as features go except for the front bearing (which I have an extra 17011) so that is a non issue.
Does one have better parts then the other?Can you give a compairison on both engines? ie which has better low end, top end, mid range, mileage, etc
Thanks for the help.

I don't boil them very often. Probably once every 10 gallons of use. I am always cleaning the outside of the pipe cuz of fuel spills and such. I think I may invest in a can of the rb exhaust protection so I don't have to polish them as much. Time frame of when excessive build up in pipe would be hard to narrow down because of all the variables involved such as type of fuel, how many engines have been broken in with the pipe, how rich fuel mixture is, and so on.

why?
i always enjoy your insight and ideas Bjarne
pipes- whenever you feel performance is "mushy" , put items in crock pot with full strength anti freeze 16-24 hours or when anti freeze starts to smell burnt and turn brown , recommend air and water to rinse out the inside .your pipe will perform like new again without all the carbon build up on the inside , engine will be happy

I started using the exhaust protect last season and it really helps keep chrome pipes looking good!! Even after fuel spills and dirt get on the pipe it just wipes right off!!! The two pipes I have used this stuff on both look amazing for having a season of racing on them.
