Hairy Exhaust
« on: 05 June 2009, 19:15:02 »
Came home tonight to find this hanging out of the rear pipe.  :-?


I had some similar a week ago and pulled it out thinking the kids had stuck a hairpiece up my exhaust.
So now appears to be the sound deadening material?
Am i ferked, or do I just leave it.
Or does it need a brazilian  :D

Mine ran like a bag of...... when that happened to me. If you put your hand by the exhaust there was almost no gas coming out. Under full load it sounded like a tyre going down as the pressure in the system was escaping wherever it could.

Had exactly the same about a month ago. I'm told its the silencer part for the Back Box of the exhaust. I had to replace my whole exhaust. :(

Depending upon the state of the rest of it you may get away with just a new back box. :y

I agree with Gareth, mine was actually from one of the centre boxes.

Came across a guy in a Saab convertible in a petrol station in Ireland a couple of weeks back. He was standing behind his car staring at what looked like a toupe on the floor with a puzzled look on his face.

Eventually I had to put him out of his misery and point out that his back box was breaked. ;)

My back box sheared off Wednesday. I've been quoted £85.00 for a "cheap 'n' chearfull" jobbie.
Can't see the point in having the box in the 1st place.  The exhaust doesn't sound loud or booming. Didn't even notice it had gone.
All I noticed was the tell-tale "clonking" sound as the box would catch the road now and again.

Same happened to mine a couple of months before I bought it, only it got to the stage where the backbox blew itself to bits (literally), which resulted in the fuel tank being pierced as well.

@ Goony,

I'd change it sooner rather than later if I were you.
