Stupid exhaust :madflame:

[plethaus]

I was romping on it a little bit after dropping something off at my parents' house and the exhaust snapped open at the y-pipe ****** I'll probably take it to OTE Designs in Waukesha and have Tom make up something. Oh well...

 

[red89mtx]

[ilikepoultry]

heh
same thing happened when i took it down highway after buying it
doughnut gasket ended up MIA too...
heh
maybe i'll end up "permanently" needing a new one
i just like the sound... only when the secondaries are open

Yeah, it does sound kinda cool at WOT past like 5k RPMs Below that it sounds like your typical "I'm too poor to fix this POS" beater

 

[ilikepoultry]

agreed.
i did a temporary fix by welding(crappy welds) the exhaust together...
it worked for a week or so.. then the crappy welds broke and it was back and even worse =)

YeaahhH! i remember that! you were right next to me all quiet like... and then you "romped" on your car and then all i heard from you was BAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!


and all i had to say for that was... WTF MATE?

 

[sho'd]

i agree with most in this post, i hate working on exhuast, crap rustes so fast, damn stud's, arghgh

 

[ilikepoultry]

maybe stainless steel?

 

[dantheman68]

SS still rusts... somehow...

the stock exhaust is SS, and mine has been replaced twice according to my records... Borla used to make a SS kit as well... but not anymore, and it was somewhere in the ballpark of $800... i think Frank has Borla on his 91... i think the borla holds up a bit better than other exhausts... atleast i would hope so...

hmm i thought stainless steel you just rubbed the rust off?
if there was only a very heat-resistant clear coat....

look up "jethot" coating... or is it just jet coating... it aint cheap...

 

[ilikepoultry]

but it would solve the problem

never asked for a CHEAP answer

Stainless can rust. Jet coating is a great alternative to having rusty exhaust. plus its a very good heat barrier. Dynomax is aluminized.

 

[Mrhappytuzi]

a jet coated exhaust would be nice

Im thinking of doing a few items before I finish mine.

 

[smokin joe]

My exhaust just liked to come loose so i just put 2 nuts on each stud and so far so good
