Your exhaust will only fall off in a car wash if you used Elmer's glue instead of super glue to attach it.

Your exhaust should be fine with a drive-thru car wash but chances are your paint will take a beating.

They should say, Not responsible for the damage and swirl marks that will be given to your clear coat from all the hard water and strong detergents used.

Just do yourself and your car a favor and wash it by hand.

Your way better off getting it hand washed then letting the car wash f*** your paint up, You can visit my boy Andrew in Whitestone, Very very excellent work when it comes down to hand washing, waxing and many more, You must call for an appointment, Tell em "Retromoe" referred you.

What the car wash is telling you is that their car wash is compatible with a stock car. Who knows maybe someone will make an aftermarket exhaust that will hand 2 inches of the ground.

your exhaust will not fall off... lol? it takes common sense to realize that... anyways going through a car wash could scratch your rims... and swirl your paint with what they use... so don't do it...
