Silencer Question

OK i got my silencer and it does calm the noise down somewhat... but it is shitt and it looks like it jsut has weld dots on it instead of a solid weld. I plan on putting it on RIGHT before i get to the dealer. Can i jsut use solder to fill in the holes? or will that melt instant. Also when the silencer is on i rev 3-4 times and take it off there is like some sort of water backup on it and in my exhaust.? that bad?

the DC Sport system is stainless i believe, so you should be all set. you shouldn't have to solder those little things you're talking about, the tack welds will hold.

are you not trying to sell it now?

think you could get some pics of the exhaust when it's all cleaned up? especially from underneath if you can reach a camera under there?

Silencers are a bad way to try and lower the tone of the exhaust. If you truely want to lower it, have a resonator or glasspack installed.

i can't believe you really have to go through all this. i say man up and holla at the shop manager. level with them and see where their really at. you may have run into a ***** on the wrong day. i dont see a dealer turning a valued customer in to the cops. its bad for business 6 ways from sunday.

you post so much, i wonder if you ever read the posts
if you did, you would know he has trouble passing inspection with his dc exhaust
hes adding in a silencer temporarily so it wont be so loud
