I decarbonized my muffler today, and I got a ridiculous amount of stuff out of it. Probably too much. Insulation came out with it. Is it shot?

What is the normal temperature that an exhaust should be able to handle? I stuck it on the bbq to dry it out. It got around 400 degrees. Is that too hot for it?

I use MAPP GAS every summer to clean mine out. Have you ever used MAPP GAS? Think of steak being well done in 30 seconds

Usually I do mine until the whole thing Glows, and that does the trick nicely ^_^

So I guess I didn't overdo it on the bbq. Yeah I have used mapp gas. Hot stuff.

Yah, good stuff, accidently hooked it up to our grill when I was 12, didnt know the difference as the label had fallen off the can..... big mistake, so much for dinner

umm, i think you just heat cleaned a iowa muffler, they have fiberglass in them, the normal ones dont, your not supposed to heat clean iowa ones.

Mines a Iowa muffler, use MAPP and not a problem. Nothing ever came out of mine @_@

What is an Iowa muffler? Would that ruin an Iowa muffler? I also used draino in it as well.

iowa mufflers are more restrictive and they have fiberglass in them. normal ones dont have fiberglass

Oh well, burning the fiberglass out, no big deal
