Dave connors Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 I've just stripped down my exhaust from an ex sigmax racer but not sure if the perforated tube should be attached to the end piece or not or is it held central by the filling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave connors Posted November 12, 2021 Author Share Posted November 12, 2021 It's not quite the same exhaust mine looks like a standard exhaust that's been made re packable as the ends fit over the middle can I could make it work if I sleeve the ends of the perforated tube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul_w Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 based on my experience 1) it is worth sleeving the perforated tube, as I didn't do it and I think it would better support the end cap joint if there was a short sleeve locating it rather than it simply butting up to the end cap and 2) if like me you get stainless rivets then you need a serious pop riveter not the usual type of hand held one as it won't be up to the task even in the unlikely event that you have hands like Geoff Capes...

Support Team andy_harries Posted November 21, 2021 Support Team Share Posted November 21, 2021 This thread is timely for me as I caught the end of my exhaust on a curb at donington yesterday and all the packing came out (sorry for the red flag if you were there). Which filing do you choose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 That sounds drastic .... can't picture how that happens unless the end cap comes off. Acoustafil mat is nice to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Team andy_harries Posted November 21, 2021 Support Team Share Posted November 21, 2021 Yes, end cap came off when i caught it on the extra large curb bits on the final chicane, which meant it all flew out on the start/ finish straight!
