    Question Caustic Soda

    Hey Guys...

    Goldy mentioned it a while ago, but no pros or cons were mentioned...

    Safe to use Caustic Soda on my stock can? and if so would you use it on the entire pipe?

    Cheers Fellas...

    hey mate, i used caustic soda earlier this week!

    works a treat! really gets that built up shit out!
    i left it over night and the next day lots of carbon just fell outa the pipe!

    one caution would be, dont let it touch the outside of you end can.... it will damage it!

    its safe to use through the entire exhaust btw

    so you took out the entire system blocked up one end, and poured it in... letting it rest over night? that how you did it... So you can't clean the outside of your end can with it?

    what does it feel like riding a newly soda'd bike?
    Today when people talk of "living through hell", it usually means that their appeal against unfair dismissal has been delayed, or the builders next door have been very noisy for several weeks. For the millions of soldiers in the trenches of the First World War, their experiences of Hell on Earth were beyond anything those of us born into Britain's most blessed generation can possibly imagine.

    Take your end can off 1st. Dont put caustic soda into your end can, only your pipe and expansion chamber.

    Also, be careful, after adding the water to the soda the mixture gets hot. Dont get burnt!
