Unhappy This is why you don't just "Cut" your muffler off.

Getting piping tomorrow but after doing a good 8 pulls total from getting mad at dumb drivers to just going to a street far away and having fun this happens. I think I might know where the mesh thing that was there fell off, i'll have to check tomorrow. What's the part called too? It's gona take me awhile to find on engine crate though.

I'm getting the rest the the approx 1ft 2 inch piping tomorrow. Now it's time for black stuff all over the bumper!

It probably melted easier because the damn stock tune is running lean as hell. It runs lean all the way until 5k and by them I shift at 6k so there's not much room for the exhaust gas to cool down. The part looked fine many days when I had gotten the muffler cut off, just until recent it completely melted because the rain stopped and it's been hot lately so the car has been running lean and the exhaust gases are really hot.

Quit **** talking the stock tune because of your stupidity. If it is running "lean as hell" its not because of the tune you got other other problems but we've established that already

I want to say 2 or 2 1/4". I know my Magnaflow was slightly larger than stock (2 1/4") on an l61. It's now at 2 1/2".

Stock exhaust on an Lnf is 2.5" with a 2.25 kink near the axle. Op should start replacing just before the twist beam with 2.5" for improvement...

And probably refrain from cutting without thinking in the future.

Doesn't matter. You had one and thought it was so fast. I am not the retard that cut off my muffler cause you are too cheap to buy an actual exhaust so you melted your bumper lol
