hairy exhaust
« on: 04 May 2015, 10:09:04 »
Hi guys
I have got glass fiber coming out of my exhaust pulled out what was hanging out. Am I correct in thinking this is the packing in the back box and as I have only just passed an mot I don't want to spend any money It doesn't seem more noisy or have a loss of power so is ok to leave as is
Thanks in advance for your replies
Regards Jason

The baffles have collapsed inside the back box, it does need replacing as it can cause a blockage. Which would then cause the back box to blow out.

Cat back an exhaust for the 2.2 can be had from ETS on eBay for around £75  :y

I had the same happen I pulled out all the glass fibre, wear gloves, and poked a stick up the pipe and all seemed clear .That was about 6 months ago and no problem yet.
