helpful hint on storing your car's exhaust
if u plan on storing your car for a few months please take a rag and stuff it in the tailpipe. i just took my exhaust off to get the car ready for the 383 th350 swap and i found a hairball made of grass, cloth and just about anything u can imagine the length of the tailpipe. the car has been sitting for about4-5 months so please do this unless u want mice in your engine.

Just take a zip lock bag and put it over the exhaust pipe, with a rubber band holding it on.
Mice can be crafty little bastards.
For kicks you can put a piece of cheese inside the pipe before you put the bag on.

I would use a zip tie over a rubber band because of the rubber rotting and falling off. Sucks to hear about your problem? What are you going to do to fix the problem??

I stored my Camaro for about 4-5 months. No rats, but my engine compartment was filled with spider webs. Long drive got rid of most of them though.
