Warning
Danger of burns
The exhaust system gets very hot when the vehicle is driven.
–
Allow the exhaust system to cool down. Do not touch hot components.
Info
Over a period, the fibers of the insulating material vanish into the air, and the silencer "burns out".
Not only is the noise level higher, the performance characteristic changes.

Remove the main silencer. (
