# Is exhaust wrap what i should be using for my rotted-out flex section until I can get myself a WSP Y?

Posted by mentat (93se 5spd) on September 13, 2002 at 14:03:56:

The metal outer part is pretty much gone (seems to have been brushing on the sway bar) and the sort of corrugated inner part is in pretty sad shape too. Can I wrap this as a temp fix? The only thing that worries me is the corrugated (flexi-straw) inner part is kind of crumbling, and I'm afraid of crumbled bits breaking off inside... I have read about rotted-out catalytic converter material being sucked back into the engine (not sure of the validity of that, I mean exhaust blows backwards right?) and i'm worried about the lining material doing the same. Does this present any danger to my engine, or will wrapping it for the time being be enough of a fix? New England Winter is on its way and I hope to have a WSP stainless Y by then but now is not the time financially for me to get one.

TIA

  - Good point, I think will indeed go with the aluminum. I love it when people talk me out of spending too much ;) n/m mentat (93se 5spd) 14:26:23 9/13/2002 (1)
    - that should be "aluminized". n/m mentat (93se 5spd) 14:27:24 9/13/2002 (0)
