I dont think you can remove it but maybe if you sanded it down that might work.

I'm thinking of getting the Greddy SE. I called Greddy and they said you can polish them out. I wonder what kind of polish and polishers or pad needs to be used?

Step 1: Grab the Sawzall

Step 2: Put Sawzall next to exhaust tip

Step 3: Turn on Sawzall, cut off exhaust tip (Do the same on other side)

Step 4: Go to Pep Boys lol

Step 5: Buy 2 Light Up Exhaust Tips

Step 6: Go Home

Step 7: Get the Welder

Step 8: Weld those sumbitches on

Step 9: Put the welder away

Step 10: Enjoy ur new sexyass tips

Maybe get some of those light up valve stem caps, light up washer sprayers, and underglow... then please total it immediately so nobody sees a g37 with any of that stuff on it

Yes, I've also heard metal polish will remove it.

Google for blue magic.

Some exhausts aren't offered with regular non-Ti tips (i.e. Invidia), which I would assume is what the OP wanted in the first place.

We had a wheel shop polish the burnt tips for a customer that didn't want the brunt look. Its possible to polish, just not as easy to do when the tips don't come off
