Hi all just wondering why I have a black hair-like material coming out of my tail pipe; is it something to do with the catalytic converters?
-
Your baffles in your exhaust have gone :y
-
In the back box?
-
I too had the cats tail.....glassfibre wadding out of the backbox.....will get progessively noisier over time......prior to replacement, the longest tail i got on one journey was about 8ft.....see if you can beat it ;D
-
You should replace it soon, it could block the exhaust
-
Funny I thought I had a blow but could never see no leaks at least now I know it's the back box. :y
-
is the system a known quantity?
When i picked mine up, i thought it may have a blow, but aside from the cats tails, the system was checked and the only explanation was that the system is a cheap pattern, and basically sounds pap :(
Problem is, the centre sections, cats and downpipes are all recent, (still silver, berely changed colour) so until it rots out...... :(
However a new backbox has made a difference :y
-
It's probably a Witch!! :D

Too true, mine lost all it's power. I was a bit daft with mine and booted it trying to work out why I was down on power, no idea it was the bacck box at the time. End result. It exploded. :-[ ::)

Sounded different as well. ::)

My neighbour's missus quite liked the sound of hers when it went the same way, that was of course until the box exploded and pierced the fuel tank.

:o Add one naked flame or spark and that could have been quite spectacular viewing.

If that does happen surely the back preesure would kill the engine performance?
Anyhow I have the receipt for exhaust, even though out of warranty, so if it blows up I'll just sue Kwik Krap. :D
