Cracked Muffler

[Oakleyspeed]

I noticed the other day that all the way around the very tip of my muffler was cracked and splitting apart. I have no idea why. maybe it got to hot? has anyone else had this problem?(scratch)

you bottomed out...

The bottom of the muffler is perfectly fine. It's just the opening of the tip. all the way around the oval.

a pic would really help...

Mines doing EXACTLY the same thing! I never hit it on anything.

the dealership was really good about getting a new one ordered in right a way. They didn't hassel me at all i thought for sure they would have related it to my intercooler and boost controller running high temps or some thing but they were awsome.

I already had mine replaced by the dealer but the replacement had a round tip and was about 4" outer diameter and 3" inside. I asked them about it and they said the oval ones weren't being made anymore.

Good!!!

 

[Got_boost02]

cool, i have the same problem. sounds like they are going to replace it if i take it in. though, i dont really think it bothers me, just nice to get free stuff off mazda

So if i have about 10k miles they will replace it.

 

[NJMAZDASPEED]

I dont see why not...as long as its still under warranty. I dont know of any muffler that has a 10k life expectancy...well, unless its NAPA

I have seen those at the dealership they appear to be bit less restrictive, notice any difference in performance or sound?(lurk)

 

[YMSpeed]

Sounds a bit louder and deeper. No noticeable (seat of the pants) gains in power though. It's just a bigger tip, but the piping and canister appears the same.
