Title: Exhaust issues
Post by: swf7y on January 01, 2011, 03:59:06 pm

After going for a short but spirited drive, I parked up to find my exhaust like this:

It doesn't usually stick out like this. Normally it's almost flush with the exhaust trim.
Any ideas what it could be?  :confused:

Stainless steel pipes in particular are known to get longer when hot. I suggest getting a look under your car though to check that the exhausts mountings haven't moved, just for peace of mind.
