Metal in exhaust? - Page 2 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

I think I agree with you. I'm going to do a good cleaning and drive it one more time to see if I can collect some. Then I'll check the cats.
Thanks for your help.

I was able to find a part number on the cats. The are magnaflow 59956 spun metallic.

I buddy of mine recycles cats I'll ask him if has ever seen a spun metallic cat come apart. He said that and aftermarket spun cat can come apart unusual but does happen. He also said take the partials to a recycling yard and have them analyzed with an XRF.

Thanks. I cleaned the exhaust and took another drive. Didn't really see anything else in there, so I suppose I'll keep an eye on it for awhile. I wonder if not really taking it out for a "spirited" drive in about 8 months had anything to do with it.

Great shot of those restrictive B&B new gen mufflers. Its a maze in there !! Sorry not much help on the findings. I had that once in my 93.. but my rod was poking through the oil pan and the metal bits in my tips were diamond pistons

Ya, there's quite a bit of screen in there. There was lots in the resonator I removed too. (Now I want a new exhaust...)

On the "debris" in the exhaust front, a few more spirited drives and still nothing else seen. I think it's all good and I can calm down now.
