Hole in muffler

Postby vincevince » Tue Dec 10, 2013 10:45 pm

So my car is super low and the rsr cat back hangs rather low just at the corner of the muffler.

After a few too many scrapes, I've discovered a hole at the base.

It's spluttered some water and carbon when I was doing a check up.
After the water stopped leaking from there, I could feel small bursts of air.
Hence, confirmation that there's a hole where it's been scraping.

Should I be worried about this hole apart from a bit of corrosion?

inb4; raising height tomorrow.

get it welded, should be fairly cheap.

welding is probably not likely to last long but in any event- weld or replace go to an exhaust shop and get your options.
