[urq] Should I start and move my urq every 5 weeks - or am I justrusting out the rear muffler?

[Max Hoepli]

I was told by my mechanic that my whole exhaust system is original on the
1986 Audi 5000 Quattro with 282,000 km. and I'm sure that many times the car
was driven without the exhaust system getting hot.
