The muffler? I mean it pops right off and is way easier to paint off the Jeep.

Huh. Didn't know that. It was incredibly easy to do with it on.
Guess there is more than one way to skin a cat.

I did mine today. However I made the mistake of using regular rustoleum auto paint and not the high temp paint. Did I just F up the muffler? The can says to not apply it to areas that will reach over 200 degrees F. Should I take off the muffler and sand off the paint or will it just peel off on it's on? Any issues with driving it like this?
