I bent my exhaust while offroad 3 or so weeks back, only just getting around to having it repaired on thursday.
The decorative tip of the exhaust that protrudes past the mudflap is slightly magnetic, whereas the rest of the exhuast system, including the mufflers is strongly magnetic. The latter appears to be fairly corrosion resistant.
What materials are we dealing with here? My thoughts are zinc plated steel and some kind of stainless steel for the tip? Maybe 409 grade?
If I can go armed with some info, it might help the exhaust guy.
Question for Bonus points:
For NSW, is having an exhaust outlet on LHS (passenger side) of vehicle, beyond the rear most opening window of the vehicle- Legal or not?
I've not been able to find any regulations or ADR's relating to the direction of exhaust other than for heavy vehicles. I'm ideally wanting the exhaust to be redirected out the LHS of the vehicle in front of the mudflap on the 90, so it stops melting...
