I had to remove my STI sports muffler and replace it with the twin pea shooter for TUV-time.

When I had it off, I noticed that there was quite some amount of water inside. (sounded the same when you take a bottle of water and shake it). I think the water comes from the washing I had just 2 day before, since I only drove about 8-10 km afterwards, not enough for the backbox to get hot enough??

Anyway, can ther be damage to the backbox if water stays inside for a few days, or is it ok? Just worried that the backbox might rust from inside out....

Tks,
Ramon

 

they get water in all the time from condensation, dont worry about it if its just short term storage. They all rust away eventually if mild steel, i doubt this will alter that rate.

 

jon,

thanks for the reply. I was just surprised about the amount of water inside. As I said this was probably because I washed the car and did not drive it hot enough for the water to get out.

Err, yes i confess I clean my backbox too.... even wax it sometimes...

 

I can understand that, there isnt much else to do in Luxembourg, i know, i went there once by mistake.

 

when you think there's nothing to do, you should never ever come here during Christmas time.

How could you possibly end up HERE by mistake??

 

He meant to go to Liechtenstein, but dyslexia got in the way...

 

Took a wrong turning on my way home from the nurburgring.

 

Well, whenever you make a wrong turn again, let me know, after all it is not THAT bad (at least when it is NOT Christmas season).
