Why do have hair in my exhaust? (pic inside)

[Rocky_24]

Went out to my car this evening and looked into my exhaust and noticed this hair stuff inside the left exit of my 182 exhaust, havnt ever noticed it before as i do glance in often as i walk past. Its only really in the left exit, the right only has a few strands 2-3 at the most.

Im running a yozza which has been on for about 18 months, and a decat which has been on for about 3 weeks. (car seems to be running fine, i havnt noticed much difference, maybe a slightly lower mpg?

Hope somebody can shed some light on it, thanks.

Cool so nothing too major? Not engine related then, which is good.

Also should that be happening after 18 months?

It'll be from the exhaust Joe, not your engine.

First of all, i'd Open the bonnet and check your Hair Filter.

Failing that, check all the pipes on your Haircon.

Exhaust silencer/baffle thing. (Didn't even know the yozza had any silencing properties )

Hmm your exhaust looks REALLY clean.
Mine is a black soot (standard map and standard apart from exhaust) - is this normal? I get major pops/bangs on startup but judging by the condition of your exhaust something is wrong with mine?

I run a yozza and mine is all sooted up and black also but it runs perfect and it also flew through a MOT test and the emissions where perfect.
