My end has fallen off!

Post by girlracer » 25 Mar 2006 06:52 pm

Don't know how this occured but my end has fallen off!! I.e my tail pipe is no longer with us! Now I have a very noisy car and I like the sound of the rumble when my pedal reaches the floor. Just thought it was amusing how my car looks really wierd with out it!

I believe that it had too small diameter so when you accelerated fast there was pressure build up in exhaust pipe and weakest link has failed :lol:
No, just kidding.

For me it looks better without that end pipe, but then again I'm antituner/ricer person :P

If end of your exhaust pipe has been on place without enough support, it could been cracked from place that had hold that weight, for example where pipe goes over rear axle.

I have had little trouble with mine too, but there is nothing that good metal wire can't fix :roll:

It's difficult to compare with the different angles but the first looks a lot better. :( How much is missing?
