he guys. today rained a lot. so i was driving and i've came across to drive through some water puddles and what not. after a while i started to hear a wobbling sound comming from my exhaust, and it was kinda shaking my car too lol. it came around a couple of times and then it was normal again. is there any way of stopping that behavior? btw: i have a magnaflow exhaust catback.

damn is everything buggin in your car lately? bad luck for leavin the site lol. maybe water got in the pipe but that really shouldn't hurt, cause condensation happens when the exhaust cools. idk. maybe thats the sound it makes when rain hits it

yea.. tonight i was driving and the exhaust would just like mummble or something. it acted like it was chocking or something and i could feel it cuz it coused some kind a vibration inside lol anyways, im not sure what it was, but it went away. it happens when it rains only. is there really a way that the water could get into the exhaust pipe? i thought it'd get blown out right away. :>

Buzz After Driving ThroughPuddle: ’01 Civic DX, LX On ’01Civic DXs and LXs, if your customer complains of a hearing a buzz or feeling a vibration after driving through a puddle, the problem may be that exhaust pipe B is hitting the body. Cold water splashing onto the pipe can cause thermal shock, temporarily changing the pipe’s shape and causing it to hit the body. To fix this problem, replace exhaust pipe B with P/N18220-S5D-A12,H/C 66932 12. The replacementpipe has a different shape to com ensate for
thermal shock.
