Sorry if this has been asked before but was wondering if anyone can tell me the best way to de-coke an exhaust (in this case an indian clubman) . Are there any liquids etc on the market that can be poured in and left to dissolve coke build up.
Thanks Baz.

Strong caustic soda solution and lots of water to flush it out

Or throw it out and get a new one...

Call around to local radiator and machine shops, ask if they have or know who has a hot tank. Heated carbolic acid which works great to clean out coked up exhausts (and paint, powder coating also).
