blue_xr6 Member 40 Member For: 16y 2m 26d Posted 19/02/09 12:19 PM Share Posted 19/02/09 12:19 PM Just fitted a XForce twin 2.5' mild steel cat back system in my T. I noticed there's a coating (I think ceramic) over its surface. Can someone tell me what is this coating for?The exhaust shop guys had to heat the exhaust up to bend my exhaust a bit so the two tips sit right in the middle of the exhaust hole on the rear bumper bar (at the start after fit it on, the tips sat on one side so it touched the bumper bar when I turn). As the result, the coating is gone at the place where heat is applied. It looks ugly now, but I don't mind coz it's just about 2 inch long. I'm just worried if it damage the exhaust, weaker, hotter, easier to rust or something like that. Now after a long drive, I can smell some burning smell, is it normal?
