Abrasive will wear away any coating but my pipes were rusting up so if there is a coating it's not doing much good. There are alot of grades and makeups of stainless steel and from my experience (and seeing a 2018 with pipes nigh on rotten) I think the oem headers are "budget", to be kind.

I cleaned mine with a scotchbrite and some autosol Wasn't too hard but considering they were done a month ago I'm a little concerned at the rate they deteriorate at. Are stainless aftermarket pipes much more resistant? Will try with oven cleaner next time.
