Defcon5 Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Your air intake has clearly sucked up a cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skezza Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Like, seriously, what the hell is that? It looks like a piece off those Poundland halloween wigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil-Pea Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 it looks like silencer packing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shabba45 Posted August 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Take it that's not too good then. Does it need sorting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James827 Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 yep its the stuff that makes a silencer silence.. funnily enough i saw similar stuff hanging out of the back of a Fiat punto the other day. Looked like a tail ahah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shabba45 Posted August 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 I thought an animal had decided to climb in my exhaust. I'll leave it for now ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 whip it all out then your car will sound better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skezza Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 I was going to say, if it's just silencer packing it doesn't really matter does it? I assume it wouldn't affect back pressure if you removed it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 It will affect it but not too bad. The best bet is a pipe instead of the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Basically part of your exhaust has rusted through inside part of the silencer.It wont affect anything performance wise unless a big chod of it gets wedged somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iksdeh Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 this is the acoustic absorbing material from the exhaust. it could be fiberglass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffD Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 i have, many years ago seen this stuff stop a diesel, it still ran but had no power. geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
