Where do you drill the holes and how big? If mine fall apart I will either have my guy weld them up, or dump them. I am not sending them back to Roush, that is absurd.

Should I drill a drain hole in my new ones? There's no difference in the design so I can only imagine I'll be in the same position 6 months from now.

As soon as the fedex guy gets here with my xpipe this morning I'll be putting everything on.

 

I drilled a 1/8 but 1/16 will work. Bottom toward the inlet on my FRPP sports. Had them on for about 2k miles and plenty water drained out.

 

That's amazing. No wonder why these things rust out. Do you put a screw in it as a cork?

 

No it would be a pain to let the water out all the time.

 

Just leave it open? Will that small hole affect the sound at all?

 

I am still not exactly certain where you drilled the hole. "Bottom near the inlet" is a little confusing. That is a ton of water coming out!

Mike

 

Bottom center near the inlet end. No exact science needed

 

I think what I'll do is drill a small hole in the new ones right near where the old ones rusted through.

 

Sounds like a good idea. The hole won't change the sound. Water thats in there is acid based. Also some people have complained of drone with having water build up.

 

Mine have been droning and sounding "off" for the last few weeks too. As soon as I get home today I'll get the new ones on.

 

This has become quite the thread huh? Lol

Update...
Roush is working very well with me on the warranty claim. They stated te same as above: rust is not covered because the welds have impurities (they must mig weld and not use stainless) but if it breaks thru its covered. They actually have been in contact with me and their warranty person called me twice but I was busy at work. So A+ on their customer service.

BUT, I dont know if taking them off, sending them back and installing a new set is worth the aggravation and work. I may just have it welded up. I will see, maybe come spring time.

PICS of the FRPP sports!!! I wanna see those tips!! The Roush's appear smaller cause they have rolled tips, the FRPP sruff is straight making appear larger which I love, I think my roushes look too small.

 

Wrong my FRRP have 4" rolled tips with the Ford logo and are 49 state legal. You can get one that is 50 state legal but I don't care about California laws. Way too much bs.

 

I painted the back before installing them. I hate the hang down silver look. Tips are nice size.

 

O yeah, I was thinking they were like the FRPP GT500 exhaust. ****!

Are the tips removable on the sports or no!?

 

No not removable. They fit the stock valance just right.

 

Here's where the Ford Racing GT500 exhaust weep hole is located...

 

Yup that's where they are on the stock mufflers also. That's where I'll drill my holes before I even get them on the car.

 

Well.... I never got my mufflers or x-pipe on today. I noticed coolant on the floor of my garage today and put it up on jack stands to find it leaking out of a seal near the water pump. FML. If it ain't one thing it's another. So she's at the dealership now. I might just drop the mufflers and x-pipe off there tomorrow and have them put them on.

 

Are those drain holes near the inlet or the outlet to the tips?

They almost look like a little dimple puncture and not a drilled hole.
