Just replaced my cats and they were extremely clogged, wondering if the exhaust would be the same as well.

 

as far as the piping being clogged, id really doubt it. possibly a muffler but still, they dont have the initial restriction as cats do, so it'd be harder to clog.

 

Does your engine randomly **** golf *****? If so, you better go check. <note, if you aren't a trophy bottom and run a real exhaust, said golf ***** will simply roll right out. At least, it worked for me.

How do you know your cats were "extremely clogged?"

 

I don't understand anything you initially said in that post.... But they were "extremely clogged" because carbon had set in the precat in layers and formed a barrier in the cones. It was a block of carbon

 

Mufflers don't normally clog, but don't try the golf ball trick. You may get it stuck in there and need to see the surgeon.

 

the holes in a straight through mesh muffler can potentially clog with carbon but the result would only be a louder exhaust. you would also need to be eating a **** ton of oil to be producing that amount of carbon.

short answer: no, the exhaust won't plug up like the cats can. just had to send in our cat for surgery, it was constipated in the nether regions.

 

Sarcasm>You

Exhaust is a pipe, what does an engine produce that could possibly just plug up a pipe? Stock exhaust is small and maybe a golf ball could get stuck somewhere in there. This is a problem if your exhaust produces golf *****. Does your exhaust produce golf *****?

But real mean have big straight through exhausts and nothing could get stuck there.
