Why is the stock exhaust ,,,

Chuck33079

I'd be more concerned about the heat from the exhaust around parts that weren't intended to be in the exhaust stream. If I were seriously considering this, I'd either buy a used set of short tails or have a buddy with a welder cut open my muffler, weld some pipe between the inlets and outlets bypassing any baffles, and seal it back up.

hes right, opening the exhaust no more than two millimeters will cause the exhaust to become three times as hot, therefore melting right through your multiple heat shields you have down there and exploding your gas tank while your driving past a crowd of people at a mall on a friday night.

im not for the washer mod at all its rice as crap and should not be a permanent "mod" (i dont even want to call it that) but i dont know what "stream" you are talking about and also look under your car and notice all the heat shields that are there. your exhaust is going to get hot and give off heat weather you have a leak or not, having a leak isnt going to burn anything up or make the exhaust any hotter than it would be without a leak theres really nothing to worry about except getting water up in your exhaust when you go through a car wash.

yea i did put some washers on a couple days before my AAM exhaust got to me just to see what it sounded like and suprisingly didnt sound too bad, but at the same time i was thinking god people actually do this to their z as a permanent fix to the exhasut being dull and quiet. its really just dumb lol

Yeah, that's exactly what I said, Captain Hyperbole. I'm more concerned with the softer stuff under the car, like rubber bushings and wires. The exhaust gas itself is much hotter than the pipe, and now it's coming out in all directions. The point where the leak is created is fairly close to the diff bushings and what looks like the wires to the wheel speed sensors for the ABS system. The heat shield is under where the muffler is located, and you've created a leak in front of it. Nothing's going to break immediately, but the excess heat is not great over the long term.

there no excess heat! i dont know where youre getting this? how does making an exhaust leak make the exhaust "hotter"??? it doesnt? and its not "coming out in all directions" ive seen people with the washer "mod" start thier cars in the morning after sitting all night in the cold and you can clearly see that the exhaust actually still comes out of the muffler. SMALL SMALL amounts of exhaust actually come out of the leak you create from a washer mod because the gap is so minimal. but i totally agree its not good to have the leak even though it wont do anything to damage your vehicle unless you have a HUGE gap and you put way too many washers in there. the only thing we agree on here is that the washer mod should not be a permanent fix to the crap stock exhaust

Lmao. You know steel melts at like 2750 and exhaust gets no hotter than 1600 at the header right?
