Tape up exhaust for transporting a vehicle?

Yeah it takes time for something spinning at 300,000 RPM to stop...

There have been plenty of debates on this. I would be more worried about rain getting into the exhaust than some 80 mph wind.

You can stick a leaf blower into the exhaust pipe and that turbo will not spin.

 

A old piece of carpet and a couple tarp straps is what I will use. Duct tape leaves the glue residue on it. Although after a heat cycle it might just burn off . Always a better look taking great care of your customers equipment

 

I used a large dogbone sponge in a plastic shopping bag stuffed down the pipe.
It is fun to put the receiver downwind or whatever and jump up to start the machine and holler "catch" and get a video.

 

#1 statement of the week!!

 

A Folger's coffee can and a long bungee cord. If you take the cord off you can see how far the can will fly when you start the engine. It's not nearly as much fun now with the plastic coffee cans. The metal ones made a much better noise when they ricocheted off the shop roof.

And yeah, cover the exhaust. Especially on new equipment or a customer's piece.

 

The best tape to use when dealing with automotive exterior is the blue painters tape

 

I don't disagree with what you are saying, but I cover the exhaust on our equipment or that that we rent with a cover like the one in your earlier post. Keeps the bugs, rain, winter salt and road grime out, looks professional, no sticky tape residue, and only takes a second to put on.

 

I agree. Mechanically I don't believe you need one. But it is simple insurance to make yourself and your customer feel good. No harm in covering it just to be safe.
