Delberts Wallet Posted March 16, 2001 Share Posted March 16, 2001 Its been mentioned that the packing in an exhaust burns away after a number of miles. My car is a 1.6K, 2 years old and has done 20,000 miles. What is the life expectancy of the exhaust (4 in box) and if its had it what are the options for replacements?

stevefoster Posted March 16, 2001 Share Posted March 16, 2001 Jason B has done ~30000 miles in his. At 20 something thousand the exhaust took on a more throaty note. An improvement to the normal 1.6 SS noise IMHO. He is still driving with the same exhaust. He doesn't go near any noise restricted tracks....

Delberts Wallet Posted March 17, 2001 Author Share Posted March 17, 2001 I'm hoping to do a trackday at Castle combe at some point so noise is a bit of an issue. Taking this into account I may need to change the exhaust system but wan't to do it as cheeply as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
