andz222 Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 could you double check coz first thing in the morning im gonna pull it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I can't remember exactly but isn't it one of the ways a silencer is filled to help reduce the emissions or control the noise. Wouldn't go pulling it out just incase it is actually meant to be in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisted Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 If she is running fine with no unexpected smoke coming from anywhere then why try fixing it?! Have a quick search on google to see what the make up is within the silencer. If no luck then take it to a garage and get them to have a look.

Lude Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Think its supposed to be on there, I had a blitz nur before on a 200sx, snd hsd a bee*r rev limiter, which makes the car backfire. It did similar to your exhaust, parts started coming out from the exhsust itself, debris, stringy metal. I sold a hks super drager off a 300zx, that was similar,they seem to rot from the inside out and they arent stainless steel. Time for a nice new one :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra steveo Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 your baffle has smashed, thats just there to dampen the noise abit if i am right ive had a few exhausts do that , think the super drager need to be stainless steel i think mine has another hole coming soon, been to a few places to see about getting the pipe section stainless steel'ed but looks like its an expensive job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
