Broke my bung
Tonight after work started up car and it sounded like exhaust leak really bad.
Nitto midpipe and anti-fouler......the weld for the bung did not look the greatest penatration wise......but I think the problem may of been the weight of the anti-fouler and heat and time and it snapped....that is my best guess. So tomorrow I am taking into my muffler guy and he is gonna make the repair for me......he said it is kinda a comman problem he has seen on several cars using anti-foulers,his fix is to weld on a helper arm from the midpipe to the anti-fouler making it kinda permanant to the pipe unless you cut the helper arm off.... So just wanted to give everyone a heads up to take a good look at the pipe if you have one with anti-fouler and see how your weld is doing so you don't have to drive home 40 miles with a header and a huge exhaust pipe leak....lol Other than this small mishap,which is just part of modding a car to me the midpipe is awesome.....been on a while now and so far this is only problem I have had with any part of the car. |
