o.k i was in an aftermarket parts shop today and the bloke in there was telling me to never buy and an exhaust with an upswept tip as they are pointing towards to sky and collect rain in them ruining your exhaust system? was i right to tell him that sounds stupid or is he right? i wouldnt of thought that was true? is it? :confused:
 
Hi mate,

Tecnically its true! BUT the amount of rain that is going to collect is going to be soooooo minimal that unless you live in a monsoon area, and only drive your car once a year, its not going to ruin your exhaust! Im guessing your talking about a DTM style exhaust, in which case, if its fitted properly and is a decent make, the actially outlet of the pipe shouldnt point that much up to the sky anyway, as it is just the pipe itself that is upswept. In conclusion, the fear of my exhuast drinking a very minimal amount of rain wouldnt stop me buying an upswept exhaust if i so wanted one!! LOL
