Default open cut with all the rain?

it shouldn't make any difference.. it could possibly get inside and rust it.. but all the exhaust is stainless steel anyways.. so i doubt it would.. and your exhaust will push out all the water that gets in.. if it even gets in at all..

Yea, not a problem at all running open cutout in the rain. Think about it, your exhaust comes firing out at high rates of speed and it's really hot. There's no way you'll get rain into your pipes, the force of the exhaust gases are too much.

water goes thru your exhaust anyway. just leave your exhaust capped for a week then get down there and open it... it will give you a nice bath lol

I ran open cutout here in FL for the last three months...yes, my car sat in my uncovered parking lot during all those hurricanes. Never experienced a problem, she always fired up and ran great...and that was through hurricanes.
