The media you see is probably not from blasting... it's from polishing. After the pipes get ceramic coated, they are a dull silver and are placed in a vibrating vat of tiny media balls that polish the pipes. Your engine won't suck any of them back into it. I wouldn't worry about much. They'll blow out when you get your engine fired up.

Tim,

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately the media in the pipes is from the blasting process. It is a mixture of fine sand and glass. I'm dropping off the pipes today to get redone and cleaned up. We'll see what happens.
