Thread: BLACK STAINS FROM SKYLIGHT WINDOWS + my new muffler

It happens as the rubbers start to deteriorate.

two weeks ago just before I left I had nice big bore free flow muffler fitted. it didnt raise noise levels much but certainly sounds nice. the up side is a noticeable performance increase and a dramatic fuel decrease btw its a td5. my normal all round usage has been 11.5ltrs/100km, since the muffler it has dropped to 9.5. impressive result for little cash outlay

Sounds like the rubbers degrading.

I no good with rubbers - I have 3 girls...

But the muffler, that has my interest. How much did you pay, and is it the centre muffler that you had done?

Mine does this too, and the rear side windows that I asume use the same sealant.

I hose them (low preshure) out while soap on panels underneath so as not to stain paint.

Havn't realy woried about it untill now, thanks.

Cheers.
