The only way I know how to get it off is take the pipe off like I did and take a wire brush to it. They make some stuff that is called RUST KILL but I don't think it would take the rust off . It would just prevent it from rusting any more.

The only thing I've done to clean my pipe on my Raptor was pressure was the hell out of it, once it is dryed I sanded it down with steel sand paper, mainly just got all the dirt/rust colour off without tearing in my hands. If you wanna keep it a silver steel look that's fine just leave it, but I'd just heat paint it, and look at the results then.
