I just noticed a steel looking mesh coming out of my exhaust, what is this? And how can I fix it?

You still under warranty they will replace the entire exhaust. Its the packing in the muffler, I replaced mine at 4200 miles and I have 10,000 and it hasn't failed again yet. Common problem..

Thanks, yes still under warranty. I'm going to call dealer and set up an appointment.

Is this covered under powertrain or bumper to bumper?

Pull the solenoid fuse and you won't even use the mufflers.

Warranty fixable item. It happened on my previous ZL1.

I hope mine comes out, sounds better without it

jaymoo7 · 03-16-2016, 08:34 PM

Hushmat. Adam at ADM said it wouldn't cause any problems.

KaBoom1701 · 03-16-2016, 10:18 PM

Just pull it out...I would let an dealer touch my car with a 10' pole...

Update:
Just left dealer and they said not to worry about it unless check engine light was on. Service advisor talked with shop foreman and he said he never heard of anything like this. If anyone has a TSB please forward/post it. If not I'm going to keep monitoring it.

If too much comes out you will begin to hear a tinny sound or slight rattle with higher revs. If the dealer never heard of it they didn't bother to check with GM support, but they are already offering you help on the thread so you are good to go..
