Is there a way to clean out the rust in the muffler?

The mesh is part of the baffling which is what helps with the sound of the muffs.

Roush started drilling the holes last year. Just look at someplace like AM to see where they drill the holes.

Drill at your lowest point when the cars up. I can't upload pics.

Btw, condensation causes water to build up and the occasional spray in when washing. Yes, it happens to even the most careful. Roush mufflers will rust from the inside out without drainage. Just do a search on the web.

roush is not a quality piece but they sound the best

mine sounds like a honda civic with a fart can now, its embarrassing

do you recommend drilling additional holes other than the factory ones?

You should have at least one hole towards the tip. I just looked at mine today.

Make the hole at the lowest point of the can. That's usually facing toward the front of the car.

Vegetables are much better for this application. I prefer using potatoes!

right by the muffler, not the tip itself. Lowest point of muffler either front side or back side.

Condensation.

To be honest, that's why I never considered Roush. At the time, there were a lot of rust outs occurring. The quality was suspect.

Thanks for all your replies and help! I found some time and took my car to a garage and put it on a lift. Turns out the clamp that connects the x-pipe to the catts pipe is leaking on both sides, so I took my car to the dealer, put it on a lift and showed them the problem. They are going to replace the clamps and try to push in the pipes closer to each other. I hope that will fix the problem.
