[s-cars] Big Puddle, Stromung SS changes and rubs

[Nic Bode]

Just like it says, when I go through a puddle, fairly large but we're
getting that here in Seattle, the exhuast starts to rub somewhere on the
car, sounds like near the downpipe/frame rail and you can hear the turbo
spool/whine much more clearly. What's up with this? Any BTDT? I was planning
on wrapping the pipe with header wrap for other reasons but that might also
solve this problem. Car feels a bit sluggish after this occurs and then the
water bakes off and all is back to normal. Posto, you out there for any
clarification? Everything is fine with the exhaust, no leaks or loose
joints. Very strange. As always feel free to email directly, although I
think this might help out others, maybe?

PS-Just did the lens cleaning on the headlamps including the reflectors and
glass spheres as well, WHAT a difference! Thanks to Jimmy for hosting the
write up by Mike Johnson and others and of course thanks for the write up on
the procedure itself. A bent long handled cotton qtip works for cleaning the
inside of the fog lens.
