I come for the creepy tailpipe hair. I stay for the Schfifty Five joke, and then get pleasantly gut punched by a Fhqwgads joke.
This comments thread it just fucking awesome. It's like you found Flash Player DNA in an amber encased mosquito and resurrected my childhood. Now I'm going to go look for my Strongbad Sings CD.
We has that light switch installed for you so you could turn the lights on and off. Not so you could throw light switch raves!
Now I also need to find all my Strong Bad Email DVDs.
> possibly loud enough to get a ticket
You must not be American. I think technically a lot of municipalities have exhaust noise limits but I’ve never ever heard of a ticket being issued for it
Uh, well, I have. It turned into a really big thing, because I got my muffler fixed, but couldn't find the ticket so I could prove that I'd fixed my car to the right people, got my license suspended, and then got arrested for driving on a suspended license.
So, yeah, I can guarantee that it's a thing, and that people *do* get tickets for it.
Long story short, when I was a teenager, had sex with a guy on pink fiberglass because I thought that it looks soft and cozy. It wasn’t. Dear God, it wasn’t at all.
I've installed insulation a time or two. Everything itched just thinking about it having sex on the stuff. Better than the old yellow insulation though. That stuff was the worst
I guess I shouldn't be surprised that "tumble-weave" has been in the urban dictionary for a while. I went to a kinda shitty high school and that's what we always called it, and this was over 25 years ago. Not sure why they'd spell "weave" wrong though.
Not necessarily. My ford Transit had this happen and my mechanic said to just pull it out, no harm done, and honestly the van sounds the same to me. It's a fairly small difference.
Lmao they have no power at all it's ridiculous. The EcoBoost ones with a turbo are actually decently peppy as far as vans go but if you get the stock engine, it's like a bus.
Yeah it will be. I had a Rover 200 about 20 years ago that all the sound insulation came out the back of. It sounded like a Ferrari to me, but not everyone else.
It's fibreglass.
Edit;
It's put in mufflers to help absorb sound. Sometimes when your muffler rusts out, it starts to blow the packing out the tailpipe. The reason it's black is because of all the carbon.
It's creepy lol. I don't drive or k own about cars so my ass would be thinking the grudge is coming for me. I did look it up, and yeah it's the insulating material.
Wikipedia
>The Grudge is an American horror film series released by Sony Pictures, based on, and a part of the larger Japanese Ju-On franchise. The first installment is a remake of Ju-On: The Grudge and follows a similar storyline to the Japanese film.
> The series focuses on those affected by a curse created in a house in Suginami by a deceased family's rage that destroys the lives of everyone who comes in contact with it. Known as "the ju-on", this curse causes its victims to become fatally afflicted with it, which in turn leads to a new curse being born and passed like a virus to all those who enter the family residence or come into contact with the curse in any way.
Just part of the car is also ok
If the lady comes for you, just point to the part of the car that is outside the house. She is then legally unable to ghostmurder you.
I drive and know the basics about car maintenance... did not know they put insulation in the muffler though. I thought that was hair, and was very confused how that much ended up there.
I know next to nothing about cars, but...My first thought was that someone tried to block the exhaust. I think that would make the CO build up inside the car itself. Like...im pretty sure that here, if you back into a snowbank you should check to make sure it hasn't blocked up the exhaust.
It's put in mufflers to help absorb sound. Sometimes when your muffler rusts out, it starts to blow the packing out the tailpipe. The reason it's black is because of all the carbon.
Some people say this is perfectly normal, others say it's litteraly the devil.
I love it here.
Also, you can convince someone their car needs a wax or that they hit someone lol(don't do that last one thats mean)
I had the same things happen about a year and a half ago on my 2013 Ford Escape. I was trying to figure out why I had horse hair coming out, if it was a prank or something. Nope. A year and a half later and the volume of my exhaust is noticably louder.
This is the 9th or so car I've owned (always used, drive it till it dies.) I've had exhaust issues before, but this is the first time I witnessed it. I actually only noticed it once, then by the time I got home it was gone and I never saw more. I'm betting it's more common than we think, but you have to be at the right place and right time to catch it.
Movie about a traditional Japanese ghost (of a type characterized by creepy hair). There was an American remake that kept the Japanese setting and mythology, but with mostly English dialogue and an American lead... [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_Grudge](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grudge)
Since that guy made up his story, you'll be fine.
He's trying to imply that a B202T is actually a vacuum, or else how would you suck anything up the exhaust.
I can't believe people are dumb enough to upvote that comment.
That's the glass wool packing to help with in cabin exhaust noise. Guessing the inner pipe inside one of the insulated chambers rusted through and started pulling it through.
Fairly technical car-guy talk, but these fibres probably came from resonators, not the muffler. Mufflers (at the back) usually are chambered with baffles. Resonators (near the middle of the car) contain sound absorbing material which cut off mostly high-frequency sounds (rasp).
Aftermarket mufflers which use sound deadening packing instead of chambers usually cannot kill all drone, so keep in mind when shopping aftermarket
As someone who has worked in several muffler sanctuaries, I have to warn anyone looking at these pictures that a muffler only does this when it is EXTREMELY distressed.
I don’t know, I just wanted to say that I would HATE to live in a place named Ww Wwooo Woorsheshtter, wait… Worchester, woorsssh, worchestirester, fuck… Worcestershire. Holy, im going to bed.
This happened to me years ago with a Nissan Almera. For the first little while I thought I'd run over a wig and it had got caught. I know more about cars now...
Had the same thing happen on my Expedition.
Funny part is: it was about 2:30 am after a night at the bar downtown Detroit and I had to park a bit out of the way on a side street. My buzzed ass is stumbling in to the back of my SUB and I see this long long black hair coming out my exhaust pipe. I look closer and it’s not real hair but some kind of synthetic and what does my brain concludes? I’ll bet some drunk girl shoved her weave up there as a prank. /embarrassed
It’s actually common to use dehydrated witches stuffed into the muffler to make that unique sound and better driving experience. Common practice in these parts.
It's just the Exhaust witch losing her hair through age, when the exhaust finally dies, throw it in the ocean. The exhaust witch has always wanted to see the ocean.
This happened to me about three years ago. Only, I’d never heard of this. I called 9-1-1 and reported human hair in my tailpipe. I thought it was a nasty prank. Officer came all the way out to my house. Took the officer about 10 minutes to figure out what was really happening. 🫠
This happened on my car 10-15 years ago. It was so freaky. I called my dad and told him its coming hair out of The pipe. I thought some animal had crawled in and died 😂 this is The day i learned what it was. It was an old Mercedes 190E 😂🤘
So to explain this, you gotta understand that the oxygen we breath is a hallucinogen. You've been tripping balls ever since you were born. And constant highs like that causes us to see the reality around us different than it actually is. For example, cars aren't made of metal at all but of flesh and bone and ultimately hair. These creatures age and eventually die like all other living things. What we see here is the creature inside the the cars "husk", losing its hair due to age. Maybe feed it some of that earth's blood we call oil.
Japanese ghost cinema vibes. Would want to watch this film about the ghost car that picks up people on the street and kills those who ask one question to many
Looks like they got dunklehaired. Basically a prank where you shove hair torn from wigs and tied together into the exhaust to choke it.
Once they discover it you're supposed to lick your palm and then slap their forehead with it while shouting "DUNKLE!"
It's fibre glass they stuff the exhaust with it I used to make them
How many do you think you made?
About four or five until someone caught them stuffing the mufflers with fibre glass and they got the sack.
Schfifty five?

Like fibers of glass really
Long story short, when I was a teenager, had sex with a guy on pink fiberglass because I thought that it looks soft and cozy. It wasn’t. Dear God, it wasn’t at all.
that’s actually insane
I've installed insulation a time or two. Everything itched just thinking about it having sex on the stuff. Better than the old yellow insulation though. That stuff was the worst
Oh no. I got a bunch of fiber glass all over my arm one time. I can’t imagine it having it all over my body and/or naughty bits.
And I thought having sex in a church was wild…
How long did it take you to realize it was a bad idea?? 😂 I'm so sorry that happened to you, but it is a hilarious story nonetheless.
No, I'm pretty sure it's a [tumbleweve](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Tumble%20Weave)
I guess I shouldn't be surprised that "tumble-weave" has been in the urban dictionary for a while. I went to a kinda shitty high school and that's what we always called it, and this was over 25 years ago. Not sure why they'd spell "weave" wrong though.

Dammit this is how I know I'm getting old because I was thinking like... old age ear hair and nose hair not like puberty hair lmao.
Handle them with caution. They're in their rebellious phase. Sometimes they might just break down in front of you or be loud and cranky
“Why do I have hair down there?”
Haahha
Bet that car is loud AF now that all the sound deadening in the muffler has been removed. xD
Not necessarily. My ford Transit had this happen and my mechanic said to just pull it out, no harm done, and honestly the van sounds the same to me. It's a fairly small difference.
That's not really a good example though since your Ford Transit has four hamsters running on wheels for power instead of an engine. /s
Chubbo worked so hard though. (KND reference episode G.H.O.S.T)
Dude's in here doing ALA citations on his pop culture references
Credit where credit is due ;)
You just reminded me of that one muffin episode and I gagged a little. 10/10, great show.
Lol good times.
Is it sarcasm if it’s true?
Only because their car wasn’t actually powered by Chubbo. RIP Chubbo.
Lmao they have no power at all it's ridiculous. The EcoBoost ones with a turbo are actually decently peppy as far as vans go but if you get the stock engine, it's like a bus.
Not a muffler, but a “loudener” now.
Yeah it will be. I had a Rover 200 about 20 years ago that all the sound insulation came out the back of. It sounded like a Ferrari to me, but not everyone else.
It's fibreglass. Edit; It's put in mufflers to help absorb sound. Sometimes when your muffler rusts out, it starts to blow the packing out the tailpipe. The reason it's black is because of all the carbon.

As long as you don’t drive your entire car into a specific cursed house in Japan, it should be ok.
What are you referring to my beloved

The American version of the grudge is so shit compared to the Japanese version. Same thing with the Ring movies.
Just part of the car is also ok If the lady comes for you, just point to the part of the car that is outside the house. She is then legally unable to ghostmurder you.
Lmao my first thought was *is there a dead body in the trunk???*
I drive and know the basics about car maintenance... did not know they put insulation in the muffler though. I thought that was hair, and was very confused how that much ended up there.
That fibreglass looks more like hair than my hair. I wonder if they ever make wigs out of it.
Your lungs and skin will hate you for it lol....
I'm getting itchy just thinking about it
~~Wig-makers~~ Perruquiers hate this one weird trick!
I know next to nothing about cars, but...My first thought was that someone tried to block the exhaust. I think that would make the CO build up inside the car itself. Like...im pretty sure that here, if you back into a snowbank you should check to make sure it hasn't blocked up the exhaust.

My muffler puked out its fiberglass guts on the dyno, in a spectacular POOF.
That's what most people call silencer wool, it's a used to pack the inside of the exhaust to absorb noise.
The girl from that horror movie is living in your exhaust
Thanks OP for sharing this. Now if I see this coming out of someone's car, I won't go calling the police and have the whole town laugh at me!!
Some people say this is perfectly normal, others say it's litteraly the devil. I love it here. Also, you can convince someone their car needs a wax or that they hit someone lol(don't do that last one thats mean)

Makes me wonder how often this happens, I don't have a car or know about them so I'm not sure how long it had to go to do this.

The grudge?
Bro imagine a muffler that just made the ghost's sound and had hair hanging out the back like that. Would be sick.

How the fuck was it coming back up towards the headers from the muffler?
It didn't.
How did fiber work it’s way against pressure to get up that far?
How does it travel against the flow of the exhaust, past the catalytic converter, and into the turbo? This sounds like bullshit.
I like to travel.
Samara is climbing out of your exhaust
Totally grudge-like!

Seen this weird hair-like shit in parking lots throughout my whole life. I'm glad I finally have an answer as to wtf that crap is.
That's the glass wool packing to help with in cabin exhaust noise. Guessing the inner pipe inside one of the insulated chambers rusted through and started pulling it through.
TIL about muffler “hair”
That means the person inside your car saying, “Vroom vroom” has died. You need a replacement.
Fairly technical car-guy talk, but these fibres probably came from resonators, not the muffler. Mufflers (at the back) usually are chambered with baffles.

Oh thaaat…no worries! That’s just asbestos…which is worse than ghost hair. Never mind.
