I recently installed a new Tiatec GT Lightweigh exhaust about 3 weeks ago. I keep getting sparkly glass like dust all over the rear bumper, has anyone else had this before after installing a new exhaust.
Exhaust spew

That's normal. I've seen a few Taitec systems do that. I'm sure other systems do the same thing. Fiberglass?
Only with Taitec
Have you seen that with any other exhausts?

Re: Only with Taitec
Many exhausts are packed with fiberglass. That's one of the questions I asked when I was buying one, and a reason I steared away from the Titec. The Anytime does not have fiberglass, ehich might be why they can offer a lifetime warranty for FI.jjeray said:

It's common with the Taitec systems. Like what KGP stated, the Anytime system I saw that was freshly installed didn't spew the particles out. My Flowmaster system also did not send those particles out.
I've seen and heard many exhaust systems... but most of them have already been broken in. Once it has, it usually doesn't blow that stuff out anymore.
(I also saw those particles on a new exhaust system that one of the Corvette guys installed on our latest run here.)

Re: Re: Only with Taitec
I see a debate comming!
BTW, mine is long since quit spewing, and the sound is absolutely fabulous. Close your eyes when my car passes and you might think it's an F car.
Oh, I didn't say it didn't spew any particles out. I initially got some fine steel particles as the cans are filled with a stainless stell wool (if memory serves me correct). It's just that the fill in the Anytime should hold up better to FI, or so the theory goes.POWERED by HONDA said:

Mine has been doing that since I installed it eight months ago, but has been decreasing a little at a time.
Thats the nice thing about the flowmaster, NO packing just chambered. With nothing to blow out the exhaust note doesn't change. Eventually the packing all blows out of those "high dollar systems" gradually becoming louder and louder. Some people like that, personally I don't.
I never noticed that with mine at all??

White cars can get away with everything except murder. If you want to get away with murder, get a color that hides the blood well. You would think red is excellent for this, but actually black does a much better job, and Midnight Pearl is just about perfect.KGP said:

Ken... why do you know this!
Because one of my friends on NSXprime helped me with a little problem I was having. That's what NSXprime is for, right? Friends helping friends. And keeping their mouths shut about it, except for messages hidden in their avatars.NetViper said:Ken... why do you know this!
Ha, too funny. Yes, Ken's pal would most definately know the right color to hide blood.nsxtasy said:

The sound of the Taitec has been just awesome, I get so many compliments on it. It has really added even more personality to the car. My friend has an RM and was really happy with it, now I think he wants mine.

Anyone will help you move, but only a true friend will help you move a body!
