WARP TEN · 09-01-2024

While I never saw this on my catless '95 or my catted '93, perhaps it could be just from carbon buildup that is finally flaking off. While not really related, I know that on the inside top of my Weber grill, it gets a buildup that looks like peeling paint, but the owners manual says it is just carbon and grease build up from cooking, so I use a wire brush to scrape it off. Would not surprise me that this might be possible in an exhaust system, especially if the car occasionally runs a bit rich. Just a thought. --Bob
