Default When it rains!

When it rains good my thermal exhaust fills with water. After a good rain I'll start my car and water will spray out the back for a couple minutes. What realy sucks is when the carbon mixes with it and it goes all over the back of my car. Does anyone else with a thermal or other exhaust with a giant watermellon cannon have this problem?

get a real exhaust system and stop using those stupid fart pipe tips. they all cause that issue. it's lieka funnell to the water. it jsut allows itt o easily go into your car. if you don;t fix it, it will eventually plug your cat or worse stop the xhaust up and cause bigger issues.

On recent turbo magazine, Thermal exhaust showed highest whp and wtq gain on a Supra than any exhaust system. Far from a fart pipe. This is compared to the high dollar non-fart pipes like Tanabe, APEXI, HKS, and 5Zigen just to name a few.

Please refrain from making ignorant comments on this board without first doing research.

Anyhow, the solution to the problem would be to try and angle it in a downward position. I mean this would be the most simple and logical way to do so, unless I'm missing something. The way the exhaust is setup, it looks like it points upward. HTH

I hate to be the guy that trashes on the "n00b" but, damnit. Please don't start mouthing off **** when you seem to not know what you are talking about.

I, personally, would not spend the money on a Thermal exhaust (or any other premade system, for that matter) merely because I would weld it myself for a helluva lot cheaper, but disregarding that, they are one of, if not THE best systems out there.

In any case, you could try to get a slant-cut tip for it (like the stock itr?) or just get one that's short enough to be under the bumper a little ways...OR, you could even bring it to a GOOD muffler shop and have them cut the pipe and re-weld it, angled down a few degrees...otherwise, you're fucked

Everyone but the second person on the post defended the Thermal matt

I also have one. and they are probably the best out there.

3" thermal exhaust = 3"tip because it's tip is the same size as the piping.

As for the question i guess your best bet would be to drill a small hole in the bottom of the tip all the way in the back towards the muffler if possible.

Mine already has one but yours might not. This will keep any rain out of the exhaust system
