blew a piece of glass pack from my 60s
 

Is this be beginning of the end for my exhaust? i looked up replacement parts and the main muffler is only 280$ but if it is the main pipe it is 580$ and i might as well just get a new one. does anyone know where this would come from?


here is a pic of it https://i.imgur.com/GeeKdTv.jpg

Looks like an old dead mouse.

sorry the picture looked better on my phone, but it looks like very fine brillo pad. definitely not a mouse

It's a jalapeno.

from a 60s what?

If it came out of an old 60s glass packed muffler, I wouldn't worry about it.

Back in the day, some of the fellows would "burn out" cherry bomb, glass packed, straight through mufflers and stuff like that would blow out.

i know all you do is shitpost but considering that you supposedly own one of these cars you should know that the 60s is a tomei exhaust

What?

Please post a more terrible picture. I'm sure someone will waive a magic wand and figure it out.
Like seriously, why is the focal point the floor?

Ahhh snowflake I hate to break it to you but not everybody has memorized all the model numbers for all the exhausts.


Typical ask for help and then shit on people.

Oh
I get now. It's a Tomei 60S not a 60's glasspack.
Boy do I feel dumb.

Wait, a Tomei 60S has a glass pack? Dafuq?!

Breadman thinks the world didn't exist until 2000 so has no idea that "60s" is the common abbreviation of nineteen sixties, as in the decade. This confused the hell out of many I am sure but since we all own the car we are supposed to automatically know that it is actually the model number of an aftermarket exhaust.
Not sure how he manages to send pictures of his lunch to IG with those photography skills.


Bad bad millennial skills!

At least people in his web meetings only have to look at an unfocused outline of him.

I honestly read this as a glass pack from the 60's as well. Didn't even think of the tomei exhaust because I never considered it a good one to buy.

Either replace the muffler or keep driving. The material inside will degrade over time.

Sorry I posted on your thread, there, Skippy - :(

:slap:
That'll teach you to express thought on a free speech platform!

im guessing the only way to tell if it is from the resonator or the muffler is pull it off? it is my understanding they are both perforated tubes with pack fill

I dont think you'd even really be able to tell which one it came from, honestly. Not unless there was something obviously damaged.

i just ordered a 55$ endoscope so i guess well see. if it is the muffler that is a cheap fix, the main pipe is nearly 600$ so id just get a new exhaust and keep what is left in the event of something bad happening

I'm just really curious- what could've been going on where there was enough exhaust pressure to shed some of that material? And why were you there to see it come out?

it was actually just sitting on the end of the pipe when i got out of my car. i assume flatfoot shifting at 7850 over and over did it. i got bored during lockdown and would drive up this fairly steep for the area mountain road once or twice a week doing that.

The material breaks down over time with general use. With motorcycles with aftermarket mufflers, it is common to repack them and they are designed to be serviceable.

humfrz, you can shitpost on my threads whenever you want.

wait i thought you just cut them out and tig on a new one. how are they serviceable?

and considering you own one of these cars, you should know the door speakers are 2 ohms!

to me, "60s" means either 60 seconds, or the 1960's.

i'm most curious as to why it matters.

i beat, and bang shift my car all the time. my last worry is if the exhaust packing is going to make like spit balls at a substitute teacher....

You call it "shitposting."

I call it "funposting!" :laughabove:

What are you talking about? Most aftermarket cans on bikes are riveted or bolted together.

Awwww......thank ya, there, Decep - I'm running low on forums that let me post anymore - :sigh:

really? some find your back in the day stories too much?

I reckon.

I remember back-in-the-day, going with my grandfather to take a load of corn into the feed mill. While waiting for the corn to be ground and sacked, I would have to sit around on the loading dock and listen to old men wearing bib overalls, chewing or smoking cigars tell back-in-the-day stories back to back for hours.

I often thought that if I ever get that way, I would hope that someone would just shoot me.

:suicide:

and now you realize it's not as bad as you remember!

MORE THAN YOU CAN AFFORD HUMFRZ, TOMEI.

hope I'm not the only one that read that comment this way :D

i stuck an endo in my exhaust and the muffler is intact and not rusty at all but it kind of looks like when you put a thin dress sock on and you have random leg hairs poking through. Im guessing it is from the main resonator pipe. luck for me that is the expensive one... i guess ill just keep watching and see how bad it gets

Likely the worse thing that will happen is a change in tone. If it really bothers you you could find a similar sized resonator and just have that replaced without having to replace the actual pipe. Any muffler shop could do that. You could also change resonator type to something like a moroso spiral flow or slp bullet (just for reference of type, not necessarily able to work) so that it didnt have packing at all. Vibrant, magnaflow etc all have a multitude of resonator shapes and sizes.

i plan on putting a jdl ultra quiet in eventually so i'm look at it with the endoscope from that end and see what happens. unless im blowing out a bunch more pack before that i guess
