Given their location on the underside of the car, exhaust systems are susceptible to wear and tear, but nothing causes more damage than internal rust! due to the amount of acidic moisture and other debris passing beneath the vehicle. Water vapour is formed as a by-product in the engine and exits the exhaust along with gases such as CO2, exit the exhaust. The water can condense on cooler surfaces in the exhaust system and over time this collects and corrodes the inside to form small holes. The exhaust is also suspended under the vehicle, allowing it a small amount of movement.

Fumes leaking out of your exhaust in the wrong place can increase your car’s emissions, and they can also damage other parts of your car. To inspect the exhaust system effectively, you’ll need to get underneath the car — something easier said than done for DIY car enthusiasts without a lift or a pit at hand. It is possible to buy specialist ramps that allow you to raise the car enough to get under and inspect the exhaust system; just make sure the ones you buy are suitable for the weight of your vehicle.

If your exhaust is ‘blowing’, there’s a chance it might be louder than the legal noise limit allowed in built-up areas, meaning you could be fined by the police.

Ready to use right out of the tub; apply half of the Gun Gum Paste to the area you want to repair, before attaching a suitable Gun Gum Repair Bandage.
