no but I got some traction compound and did a launch on my street .
(testing new driveshaft and getting Nos hooked up)finally.
first launch and it happened?

ILuvPizzaTimes10 05-09-2010 12:06 AM

is your exhaust mounted to the car solid and you have rubber motor mounts?

DAWG 05-09-2010 12:15 AM

poly mounts
and exhaust exits just before rear end (turndowns)
im thinking harmonics caused it .

84ta406 05-09-2010 01:25 PM

Could be stress if the exhaust has a lot of free movement. Sounds like it could also be from the engine torquing?

DAWG 05-16-2010 01:46 PM

yeah put in another exhaust mount.
seems it was just hanging there on one mount on each pipe.
didnt weld it up yet until I come back from San diego.
(gotta remove them both and tig em up nice)
But yesterday morning I tried some putty to seal the broken welds and Im simple amazed how good this stuff works.
i went driving around all day yesterday and went to the bristol cruise and the stuff held just fine.
Its called PYRO PUTTY 2400
