How bad is this? about 67k w/ SES light on an a code of P208E(Powertrain - Fuel and Air Metering and Auxiliary Emission Controls - Reductant Injection Valve stuck closed) and P20E8 (Powertrain - Fuel and Air Metering and Auxiliary Emission Controls - Reductant pressure too low) on torque pro

My exhaust pipes are equally bad, if not worse. I'm at 82k, and the pipes are stained black in places. I've tried polishing with metal polish and steel wool to no effect.

EDIT: I love your signature by the way. I also own an off-road eligible vehicle that awaits sponsored upgrades

Try some brasso with an old toothbrush. I used to do with when my car was still reading books.
