    I had ID'd the collector as a potential weak point just from looking at photos. The paint is a good way to go to ward off the rust & I reckon it should be done ASAP to all machines if they are to be subjected to bad weather.

    All the black bits

    The collector box, under the sump and then each individual pipe, leading to the silencers.

    The downpipes are chromed, so should be ok with regular cleaning, tho the joint where they join the collector box will need watching.

    It's a fact that all exhaust pipes will eventually rot. It's a fact. And the more you use the vehicle, the less the muffler corrodes.

    My brother's father in law has 3 taxis that are used in 24 hour shifts. After 4 years, the mufflers are intact.

    If we use them eveyday the heat doesnt let the water do its dirty work so keeps them solid. Ill be making sure Blue gets used very regularly  :001:
