Re: [DML] Re:rusty DMC dual exhaust

[DMCVIN6683 <dmcvin6683@xxxxxxxxx>]

It isnt DMCH's coating that is the problem, it is how the exhaust is  
laid out. The Converters hang low and are behind the tires and get a  
constant spray of any debris on the road.

When I sold my car everything was perfect except the areas that would  
get sprayed with road debris.

It was like sandblasting the coating away as you were driving.

Really it is a shame that DMCH hasnt commented lately on this new  
issue. It is also a shame the owners have to remove this exhaust that  
was originally a pain to install in the first place. The owners  
should almost be compensated to send their exhaust in to get recoated.

For myself it was a poor design flaw on DMCH on how they laid the  
exhaust route out.

Now we all know why DMCH discontinued selling this exhaust unless you  
were getting a Stage II engine.

Last I heard they were going stainless and would be offering a  
discounted upgrade to original Stage I exhaust owners.
