[All] [Generic] Fujitsubo legalis backbox

[Baker]

Ive yet to see these exhausts without the two stripes on the backbox - looks like oxidation.
The issue on mine appeared recently, it does ruin the aesthetics i think.



Anyone know why this happens or how to get rid of it? ive tried polishing but doesnt seem to help.

I'm guessing it's just dis-colouration from the heat. My old Japspeed exhaust went a goldish colour after a while. Only on the pipework though, not the boxes

[dazzz]

Same here.

I removed my exhaust and used wet and dry paper to rub it down getting finer and finer grades as you go, then finish with autosol.

Got rid of my brown marks, this was last year, but now they're back.

I dont have those lines on mine but have a bigger one down the centre of the box it looks like oxidisation or heat damage but just got the car.I'll be looking at mine over the weekend and will post findings

Its defo from heat. Mine was pretty bad and then I used an old polishing pad in my da with auto sol and got it off after some pics at jae I saw made it look crap. Just started to come back and give it some elbow grease with the autosol and its shiny again

The only option is to sell it.

Mine has done this for the last five years too

Autosol removes it 90% of the time.when that fails out come the metal polishing wheels on the end of the drill - straight back to a mirror finish

I thought mine had died tonight

Was rattling in every gear at certain revs, quite badly

Gave the back box a tap to see if I could locate loose baffle or see what had broken, no rattles

Open engine lid and notice the engine lid rod had came loose

[Marf]

Are you completely sure that your exhaust isnt ruined? Best send it to me so I can check

[StevieL]

What's your address and I'll get my carrier budgie to bring it over in the morning......

Mine did it too. Autosol always did the trick regardless of how bad it got - it just took a bit more elbow grease sometimes . I wouldn't take the wet and dry to it, you'll go through the stainless layer much quicker than you would with polish and then you'll need to polish it every other day.

i got rid of the stripes on mine when i bought it. just get one of those polishing kits you attach to a drill, it doesnt take long to do.

they come back after a while though

[StevieL]

Mine seemed to be getting slightly louder lately, going to try another exhaust with a bung to see how I get on with that, but might be selling mine once I get it off and check condition and saving up for a brand new one from Japan

I won one of these on fleabay last night for very little money. Seller clearly didn't like that and has filed a request to cancel the transaction as it's 'already sold'. Tenner says it'll be back on next week.

[StevieL]

Ahh you won that one? I'd report them for that!

[Tsia]

It was actually the pic on your for sale thread that inspired me to bid on it. Gives it a nice ar$e!


That and my current exhaust rattles on the towing eye

[Tsia]

Guess it doesn't work!
