Yeah, it gets a little melty if you put it on there too soon after shutting off the engine, but then again, we aren't smart as those folks over in Virginia who use mason jars or that other guy using a coffee can.

Heck, we can't spare any mason jars 'cause everyone knows you only use those for sippin' sweet tea and nobody 'round here has any spare coffee cans 'cause we use those to store all the extra grease from cookin' bacon and sausage at breakfast.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Some time ago someone recommended creating a small hole at the bottom of a muffler to let out excess moisture. Idea was to prevent rust on the inside. Is this nonsense? Seems iffy, especially with salt getting into the inside of the muffler in the winter and making the situation worse.
a coffee can also works to cover the hole while it rains... but I think it blows off if the motor is on...(unlike the flapper thing) ? or does it mix the water and make coffee ala' exhaust pipe ?
Driving the car seems to push the water out, I live in Seattle and if I had a tiny hole in my muffler it would fill up while parked as that is about where the water line is in most places....

Drive the car more often and you should encounter less car issues as a whole. Once the car runs for 20 minutes the muffler should get hot enough to evapoate all the moisture that is in it.
Haha.... I knew I'd get hammered for this one.
I drive my car lots, so no worries there. The root of my question was with whatever residual there might be once the engine is shut off. I guess the answer is no!
Like this?
Don't pay any attention to the 13" wheels, the hood scoop, the driving lights above the windshield, and the side pipes. I wanted to take this baby off roadin' so I jacked her up about 9" to increase the ground clearence.
Sweet, huh?
[QUOTE=ivangene;5739702]a coffee can also works to cover the hole while it rains... but I think it blows off if the motor is on...(unlike the flapper thing) ?[QUOTE] We roll with a clear mason jar on the farm-all here....
exhaust pipe after engine shut off no need to worry about.
Worse is short trips with no time for engine/exhaust to get good and hot.
But in this case, early failure of exhaust system likely least of your worries.
Sincerely,
Macster.
Man if the flapper only had a little handle you could "flush" from inside it would give me something to do while I wait 5 seconds before starting the engine....
