That is a new one? Could this be some sort of "sound material" coming out....I know some mufflers have fiber glass type material inside the muffler.

It is probably the sound-deadening material inside the muffler. Probably time for a new muffler.

Ok guys there's the scoop. I need a new muffler. Oddball event yesterday and a first ever for me. Had me flipping out at work. It's a Honda thing, this hair. And accords only I guess. Mufflers only 4 years old too. It's made by walker so not sure about it. My Honda sounds like crap tho now :/ she's a rice on crack. Saving up for a new muffler. The going joke at work was relative to the sticker "if your going to ride my *** at least pull my hair" lol! Glad it wasn't something worse tho.
