significant NPP Exhaust Leak

Check your car, isn't too visible from ground level if you're not looking for it. 4900 miles, unmodified NPP exhaust leaking there at the pipe entering the suitcase.

That's just soot and water condensation coming out of the weep hole... It's supposed to do that...

Weep holes at the muffler inlet area is very common to prevent water buildup in the muffler and subsequent rust.

I know what weepers are for and why just didn't expect it there or to be a shitty eyesore such as it is.

Or the cheap solution - I spray painted the muffler case black. Then the shiny trash can muffler with its sooty streaks just disappears.

Same here. Couldn’t handle the crappy welds, black streaks and ugly huge suitcase. Mlee, is you car missing a brace on the bottom about mid way of the exhaust?

A few people have painted the exhaust with black engine paint.

I have every intent to go with the AWE system so this won't be an eyesore for much longer.

Good eye... this was in the middle of the install.

I will double check that though...
