Header Pipe Rust Removal & VHT Paint

My header pipe on my DRZ was looking a bit crusty (as they eventually do)
I decided to give it a bit of a clean up.
It was a quick job. I never even took the pipe off.

Must of only cost me around £20 to do all this.

Tools:
High Temp Black Paint Stove BBQ (120ml, more than enough)
Hammerite Rust Remover Gel (100ml, more than enough)
Sandpaper
Brush 1″ width

Duration : 0:2:53

    Very true. I’m pretty sure nobody would of minded paying a tiny bit more for stock stainless DRZ’s.

    eBay is the other option.
    £80 for a stainless header
    £150 for a FMF powerbomb header.

  20. Good job, looks …
    Good job, looks much nicer now,. Suzuki should have used stainless for the header from the start , I mean it gets all the crud and salt thrown from the tyre.
