Yeah, S4 is always a good class. Sorry to say, but I don't think I'll make the 1st race. Ken, go kick some you-know-what with your freshly cleaned-out pipes. Not sure that came out right (oooh double pun).

| Go to Home Depot or lowes and buy a piece of steel cable about 1/2 the length of your exhaust. Take the cable and unwrap the end- fray it and chuck the other end in you drill. Run the cable back and forth through exhaust from both sides. Use gloves, eye protection and be careful. Works great used it on my GP bikes for years. |

the way i have always cleaned any pipe is in a caustic soda bath, it even removes R30 and M40 build up. "Drano".
cut the side out of a twenty litre industial drum, fill it with cold water, pour in half a kilogram of Drano, stir it with a stick till it desolve's, you'll feel the plastic drum get hot, put the pipe in leave it over night or a few days, take it out and hose it with high pressure cleaner,..works a treat,..the soda does all the work,
just don't get confused like a friend of mine and use hydrochloric acid and come back a few days later to an empty bin  |

What do you do with your superfund site when you're done?

| I did the steel cable and drill drick mentioned above and it worked pretty well. Got a lot of carbon out. Wish I could get it all out though. |

effing hot. I used to cook the leopard headers to cherry red (see pics above). No problem. It's mild steel, what's the issue?

You neutralize the caustic with vinegar? Seems pretty easy...just throw in a splash of baking soda as an indicator and then add vinegar until the mix starts to bubble at pH 5. Everything goes down the drain after that and there isn't a septic or sewer system that can't handle that stuff.
All for being responsible and not into any form of being stupid. Arbitrarily saying no is just as silly as 'hey guys watch this'...
And, fwiw, caustic is the #1 most common industrial approach to cleaning burnt organics from steel without the downside of changing material properties significantly. Hi-temp guaranteed to have that effect... <shrug> |

| Curious, if people use this stuff to clean drains, why exactly does it need to be neutralized? |

My thought exactly, Drano is designed to go down the drain, the only addition would be the rust and grease from the pipe.....
Kinda sound like what clogs a drain.....

If anything, seems like it would be a good idea to throw it down the drain when you are done with it. Kill two birds with one stone. |
