flushing my exhaust?

just thought if im getting a new top end i mayaswell clean up my exhaust as its full or crap and carbon build up.

just wondering can i like pour anything down it to "flush" all the crap through??


mabye petrol or something?

cheeers

 

i heard you can use petrol, so you remove end can, bung one end of the pipe and pour petrol in it then let it soak, and the rinse it but leave it for a while to dry

i also heard you can use bicarbonate of soda or suming too

you could also change the baffle wool in the end can

 

yeh i was thinking of just taking the end can off and blocking up one end pouring petrol in and shaking it or something to loosen up all the crap


the pipe hasnt been on long tho so i doubt the baffle wool will need changing


i just noticed when i took it off that the part where it connects to the cylinder had big chunks of carbon inside

 

caustic soda is the stuff you want

 

oh ok cheers mate


where can i get this from?


and then what do i do with it? :emb: :emb:

 

does bicarbonate soda work :emb: the like cooking stuff i think it is lol

 

U can get it from most hardware stores for like £3 a bottle.

It comes as a solid powder and you just add a bit of it to water.

Block up one end of your zaust and fill it up.

Leave for 20-30 mins and let the black watery sludge pour out

You've gotta wear gloves cos it burns like a biatch when it gets on ya skin. I found this out the hard way

 

oh ok thansk alot mate
