...I've just fitted a H+S downpipe to my magnex centre and magnex silencer on a wr rb5
Did a 200 mile round trip today and noticed that my tailpipe has turned brown/straw coloured. Is this normal?...or is it getting too hot? as this never happened on my old 96uk car using the same set-up.
TIA
Jon

Perfectly normal (I think it's due to the overfuelling that's standard on these cars!!!!) It happened to my MY97 (d/pipe and b/box) and to my MY99 (full de-cat)
A bit of alloy wheel cleaner will take it straight back to silver!
