LotusTalk - The Lotus Cars Community - View Single Post - WARNING: Track Guys, Check Your Exhaust Systems

def · 06-23-2008, 10:11 PM

I have been meaning to check mine since last auto-x, have another one Saturday. Saw some soot in the first picture coming out of the defuser - NOT a good sign. You can see the small hole in the exhaust pipe in the 2nd picture. Need to rectify this before saturday's autox. It got too dark out tonight to try to loosen clamp, shift exhaust, and re-tighten. But with all of the clamp talk, maybe I should go get another one.

Sorry for the bluriness in the 2nd pict, lighting was bad so I tried to take a longer exposure, while under the car... after manually taking off the diffuser... and lifting weights earlier
