Any issues with driving it like this?
Youll be fine but the paint will most likely flake off, which I believe will be easier than sanding!

It's just one of those "oh shit" moments when you realize you just did something that you didn't mean to do. I figured it would just peel off, but I wanted/needed some confirmation from the forum. Thanks.

Yes, mine smelled for a couple weeks....but I was running not top.

I did my stock exhaust with 1200 degree bbq paint and it lasted a year until I replaced it with my mbrp. My mbrp was sprayed black with 500 degree engine paint and it all burned off within 3 months.

Did mine with BBQ paint. I left it mounted, took a wire brush to it to get the rust off. Cleaned it with soapy water then gave it 3 coats. Holding up rather well, have to see what the salt does to it this winter.
