[Honda-C70] Re: broken exhaust port, pipe cleaning

 

No, they usually have the resources to cut off the welded end & clean it out that way. My exhaust is working just fine but I figured while I have it off it might be a good time to do a little preventative maintenance work...

Something you would certainly notice.  As long as the engine runs good and accelerates well, I would not think the exhaust is clogged up and causing too much back pressure.  Think about it, your don't hear of anyone heating up a car exhaust with a torch to burn out carbon buildup.Michael
