Using your new exhaust tip is easy. Just attach it to your 5' exhaust pipe. It's that simple! When it comes to maintenance, a regular wipe - down with a mild cleaner will keep it looking great. Make sure to dry it thoroughly after cleaning to prevent rust. Also, be careful not to scratch the surface while installing or cleaning. And remember, the polished option is on backorder, so if you get the non - polished one, it'll still work just as well and look cool on your truck.
