I didn't order any options at all when I ordered my car, frankly I didn't think they were great value for money and I prefer to add my own bits and pieces as I go along, I have the standard polished exhaust pipe and shield, which still look great after 1000 miles, and I don't see any reason why that should change. I use a metal polish [Alu Belgom] on it occasionally, and this keeps it looking good. I should have wrapped a few coils of copper wire around the manifold at the head, which is supposed to stop tarnishing of the first foot or so of the primary pipes, whether it does or not I won't know, but, perhaps a new owner could do it and let us know for next time?
