Lotus Performance Exhausts
Your Lotus Exhaust can be completely replaced or, depending upon condition we can replace any problem sections:
- Lotus Manifold
- Lotus Front Downpipe
- Lotus Centre Section
- Lotus Rear silencer box
Lotus Silencer Or Back Box
Lotus Silencer Or Back Box normally needs replacing first.
Fuel combustion in your Lotus engine creates water vapour. As it passes along your Lotus's cold exhaust pipes it condenses back into liquid water.
Sulphur and Nitrogen Oxide gases passing through you Lotus's catalytic converter are absorbed by the water creating Acidic moisture that can attack the steel of your Lotus exhaust.
Your Lotus Silencer is the last part of the exhaust system to be heated and on short journeys may not heat up enough to eliminate the acidic condensation.
A problem with your Lotus backbox will give a loud roaring noise as the silencer ceases to be effective.
If your Lotus exhaust is rattling then a support bracket or rubber mount may have corroded or come loose. The rubber on your Lotus exhaust hanger can become brittle and snap leaving your Lotus exhaust system hanging loose.
Cracks in the exhaust pipes and failed gaskets, blockages all create unusual sounds so if you suspect that your exhaust is less than perfect it's best to have it checked.
