I have used both Pro Honda Spray Cleaner & Polish, as well as, IPONE Cleaner Polish on the mufflers of my CB1100 EX with good results.
If you mean exhaust headers (pipes), these won't clean all the fried bugs off of them. Fried bugs are worse than shellac. Autosol Metal Polish and a sock wrapped around a header will, but it takes some elbow grease.
I lay a streak the Autosol paste down two of the headers and spread it out with a nitrate glove, and then wait about 5 minutes for it to do it's thing. Gloves are needed as this is a messy joy. Then I wrap the sock around a header, twice if it is stretchy, and pull the ends of the sock to and fro while moving it slowly up and down the header. Most of the bugs will come off, and the sock will turn black. Those bugs that resist, get rubbed off with a dab of Autosol on a shop towel and a lot of persistence.
