Exhaust Dust?
 

I put a new exhaust system on my newly replaced engine and now I have shiny fairy dust glitter on the back of my baby. Naturally after blowing an engine, I'm a little nervous about metal on my ride. Please tell me this is normal when you guys have changed your exhaust. It's not cat dust as I melted those long ago and I'm running test pipes. Thanks for your input.

I had the same issue when I installed a new exhaust on my Eclipse. Mine was fiberglass (at least I think that's what it was) from the muffler packing. It looked exactly like what you're describing. It went away after a few days.

I didn't have anything like that when I installed my new Fast Intentions CBE.

So it's not just me... At first it was really bad, and I thought it was maybe just something I drove through or I didn't get the car far enough away from the garage when I was fabricating something. I've never had anything like it either on any car, I've installed exhaust on before?

I installed my Fast Intentions cat back, and Berk high flow cats in the beginning of April, and at first the dust was awful, made my car look like a low rider paint job their was so much metallic. It has just now almost entirely stopped, if that tells you how long it took to completely stop the dust (It's a daily driver too).

hahahahhaahaaaaaaaa we don't love these ho3s :nutswinger:

ozburnrs, put some miles on the car. Some exhaust systems will blow some loose fiber packing out for awhile.

Thanks guys. It does make my red Z look sparkling as I pass all the other wishful peeps that bought something else!

Meh... I guess almost entirely stopped was not correct. I'm starting to think it doesn't stop. My car is still covering it's self in the dust. It's just not as bad. Here recently I've been going longer in between car washes, and I'm noticing it more. It definitely died down some, but never actually stopped.

Mine is still doing it and getting louder. Guess I’m just blowing through this cheap exhaust I bought on eBay. Probably melting it down with the supercharger and no cats.
