Anyone w/ Quad exhaust has this problem? this cat back has been on for 2 weeks now, but look at this:help:
thats milltek quad catback. i think it is because of the way they design the exhaust.
This happens frequently, with "Y" tips.
The exhaust ALWAYS wants to go the path of least resistance (in this case, to the outside tips). There isn't any way of "coaxing" the exhaust to go to the inside ones, to even the soot, unless you welded some sort of baffle in the "Y" section.
You could always do the following:
1. Clean all of the tips, so that they're shiney again.
2. Stuff steel wool into the OUTSIDE tips only, forcing more exhaust gases to come out the inner tips. Keep steel wool inside until the inside tips are sufficiently "black" with exhaust soot.
3. Remove steel wool from outside tips, and THOSE tips will now get dirty.
When all 4 are suffienciently dirty, NEVER wash the exhaust tips (or you have to start 1-3 all over again).
:thumbup: Thanks! so the only way to "fix" is to make the inner tips black like the outside tips. and there is no way to make the air flow even due to the Y tips design?
ünpimptheauto;203210 said:We have a similar issue with our BMW E46 M3 El Diablo exhaust...
However, in our case, the #2 and #4 tips stay relatively clean. Similar issue...the exhaust gases go where they wanna go.
#2 and #4 tips?? you mean stuff the steel wool in the outside tips and never wash the exhaust again?
What if I want to welded some baffle in the "Y" section. How much will it be and where can I get it done:thumbup:
