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!!

 

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.
