Public Service Announcement: Be sure of your metals. Turns out that 993 muffler brackets aren't stainless after all, but are mild steel underneath what looks like nickel. Well, it looked like nickel, kinda hard to tell now that it's in solution with the HCl. Maybe 3 days was too long in the tank.

Anyway, I'm sure they'll look nice in some high-temp black paint.
