    it looks ok, but is it safe to have the pod right there? couldn't it blow apart?

    it dosnt look too bad but why polish it??? gas is only there so the car is cheaper to run.

    this is true.

    there is too much cramed into my engine bay to make it tidy with out removing the gas.

    hozy i ment hrs polishing the converter because of the shape of it and all the little crevises that are hard enough to keep the grease/dirt out of
