resonator

[Shotgunchuck]

Mine has a pin-hole leaking condensation. [ the muffler looking thing about 20" long in the mid section]
mine is an 06 I think... (I5)
What can I do? straight pipe? Replace it? Looking for reasonable cost options. Aftermarket that'll improve performance?

thanks in advance.

I thought it was suppose to leak the condensation out of that pin hole?

 

[Shotgunchuck]

?maybe... Seems weird, I figured rust hole...

That is to keep it from rusting out .

Except for the exhaust manifold the entire exhaust system is stainless steel (not the "Oooh shiny!" type but the "won't rust in a week in Michigan" type) so it's highly unlikely it's rusting out. Virtually all vehicles made since as early as the mid 90's (I believe anyway) use stainless for the exhaust because it takes such a beating. The only reason anyone replaces their exhaust these days is either it became physically damaged due to an impact or something, or they want something shiny. Catalytic converters still need to be replaced periodically, especially if the engine is wearing out (oil/coolant/other contaminants shorten the life of the cats), though not as often as they used to need to be. Mufflers are also all stainless and rarely need to be replaced.

That is condensation drain, specially if it sits too long there a lot of water coming out from tailpipe and that hole in the muffler.

I run and sell the MBRP resonator. My opinion is biased but I do like them.
