my exhaust has some buildup on the inside of it. It has hardened to the point where I can't get it off. Anybody know anything strong enough to break it apart?

I have tried some WD40 or PB Blast or something like that loosens alot of that up pretty good.

OH GOD. Please don't use steal wool to clean your exhaust! Use super fine copper wool, its much softer and less abrasive so it shouldn't cause any damage to the chrome or steal. Whereas the steal wool will likely scratch some of your finish after just one cleaning.

Well I wasn't going to use it on the outside because I figured it will scratch it but I will definitely use it for the inside because all the buildup is rock solid!
