Last week I noticed the outside of the tip was covered in black powder and the muffler starts making a lot more noise.
The leak is at the side where the tip is bolted to the silencer..
I will not take the silencer out, noise already is deafening in the car at 2000 to 2500 rpm..
Does anybody have any experience with this? Is there anything I can do about it? Can it do damage to the muffler?
Here's a picture of before the leakage.
