Confused!

[Judspony]

The picture is going to be tricky. But it's my bootlid and it keeps getting covered in fine fibres, they just go to dust as soon as you wipe them but they seem metallic. They are very uniform, straight and about 3-4mm long. I tried a magnet and they don't seem to stick. My only thought is they are coming from my exhaust. I don't seem to remember them with the stock exhaust and I have done about 700 miles with a Borla Cat Back touring which I love compared to stock. Could it be something clearing out? But 700 miles worries me! Everything else seems fine.

Looks like it could be fibreglass packing from the exhaust silencers. Can you see any stuck to the tailpipes?

Yep, either something from the tail pipes or possible from the cats.

Nothing obvious in the tail pipes, do you think it will clear?

Where do you store the car and when do these accumulate?

In a garage, they accumulate during a drive.

[MENTION=13920]Enoch[/MENTION] had issues with his first Borla. Don't know if he saw anything like this?

I had this with my stock exhaust. Since I changed to MagnaFlow cat back - nothing. My guess would be the stock resonator.

Had some of that from my last exhaust. But seeing as I love to rev the fuck out of my car it wasn't that surprising. Only happened when first put on. Did settle down after a while. Probably cause the left cat had disappeared by then. :lol: That was a borla s type by the way.

I've been running the Borla Touring CB for around 3000km and have seen nothing like that.

Mine was just a loose baffle in one silencer...

My old exhaust (stock) used to piss up all manner of crud to my decklid, and my decklid used to have it stick to it like glue (Inm hindsight it was probably static'd on). It's since gone... Had it with the MF exhaust for a few hundered miles too...
