Title: rear exhaust
Post by: flyer 0712 on 18 December 2014, 16:51:49

The omega woes just carry on and on....today i was told by another driver that I had a load of ribbon hanging from my rear exhaust box and he asked if someone had stuffed it up there and did I know it was there...On inspection and a lot of tugging all of the fibre glass wrapping has now come out....looked like horse hair....filled  a carrier bag full of the stuff.....so although the silencer sounds and looks ok I have just ordered a new one...merry christmas  :y :y

Not wanting to rain on your parade, but the wadding could have come from the centre box... often collects in the rear box, causing it to go bang :-\

Well...it's not going to go bang if he fits a new one, is it?

Possibly not, but if a job is worth doing...

Never gave that a thought.....suppose when i come to fit the rear box that it will all become clear...my luck it will need centre boxes as well.. :-\ :-\
