Found this at the end of my exhaust pipe. WTF is it?
Here it is as I found it
Here I've removed it and put it on the ground to snap the picture

Thats a whistle tip. The whistles go woot woot. LOL. I'm kidding I have no idea what that is it looks like something to make an audible.

Its a whisle that some people put into the exhaust as a prank. Makes you think something is wrong with your car when you start it up. That one is put in backwards and the tab spread apart to make it fit. Not sure it works backwards.

I am no expert, but a question comes to mind,..
Has it always been there?
The shiny appearance leads me to believe it is new whatever it may be.
Have you started the car with it in?
Mike.
GOD BLESS ALEX & FAMILY
That is what is refered to as a new propeller in the rear end. As in," I need a new propeller for my rear end." LOL. Dennis

Whistles like hell in reverse at speeds over 100 mph. I have never heard mine but the next time to the track I am going to run backwards and give a report.

See my garage file for part numbers and whatnot.
IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.

No sir. I just noticed it this morning when I went out to my garage.
Judging from the responses...and if people are actually serious...it appears to be a whistler of some sort someone shoved in the pipe as a joke.
Fear The Bunny!
That would be my guess.

Yea I would say someone put it there cause of how clean it is. If it was in your exhaust a while it would have black exhaust crap all over it. Plus your MM is dirty but that is still squeaky clean. Hell just for *****s and Giggles I'd throw it back in and see what kinda sound it makes in case the joker does it again you will know the sound.

Not having any experience with this whistle-tip phenomenon...it had me a little worried. Thanks everyone.
GOD BLESS ALEX & FAMILY
Alan, when Iwas a kid we put potatoes HA Ha in the ends of exhaust pipes. they did not whistle but every one knew what they were. Your pic scared me for a minute. thought it was your crank shaft. Dennis
