You need to clean the muffler first. Then, use heat paint specifically designed for that purpose. Your local auto parts store should have it, and I believe I saw some in Home Depot the other day.

The tip available at Walmart doesn't look like some cheapy crap. It's stainless steel and resonated, and actually looks very good!

Is there a DIY for removing the muffler?

1NZYaris1 · 11-02-2008, 06:15 PM

theres no need to remove muffler, but if you want to it is only a matter of undoing ,
the bolts with springs on them , (the ones above the axle).
as for paint just tell them you are painting excaust tail,
hope this helps .

Is this heat paint a spray paint? So it's safe to just spray paint the muffler w/o removing it?

Remove the muffler don't half ass it (it takes like 5 minutes) Just get spray paint with ceramic in it. Go to any auto parts store and find black spray paint designed for engine blocks or brake calipers. Either will work fine.

Stopped by Wal-Mart and saw this $12 tip you guys mentioned. Looked pretty good, but it was too big, long and kinda heavy for my taste.

So, I went to Pep Boys and found another tip by the same company (Pilot Motorsports). The Wal-Mart tip is around 8.5" long and has a round, slanted tip. The one I got from Pep Boys is only 7" long and has a square, slanted tip. This tip cost around $27 though.

I have installed it already, but it was dark after I installed it so I'll post pics. of it installed later today when the sun is up. The slanted tip follows the rear bumper's curve nicely. I like this tip much better than that Valor / Toyota brand tip I got from my dealer for my '07 LB.

The Walmart tips are also by Pilot Motorsports. At 8 1/2", the round slanted tip is certainly not too long. Fit it tightly up against the muffler bracket and tighten. It will sit under the edge of the bumper by almost 2".

Here it is on my Yaris:

It doesn't stick out at all. The entire tip is still under the bumper.

I hate Wal-Mart, but that does look like a nice tip.
Most of their things are from China. Where is this tip made?

It was a great eight year run, but it was time to focus on other things. I'm still selling parts on eBay under micro*image seller ID and customers can still make requests for anything specific.
