My buddy sandblasted my pipes and box and didn't plug the holes like I told him to. *Lots of sand or bead blast in them and need to know a couple of things. *Will the sand get sucked into my zrt 600 engine by back pressure or whatever. *Should I run water thru the pipes and the box to get out what I couln't shake out. Please help with any suggestions other than buying a new box.

Thanks!

Try to shake what you can out. *Try compressed air. *Then run it. *Dont use water. *Run it fast to try to blow it right out. *I dont think you will have a problem.

I don't know, I think I would just take them to one of those car washs with the hot water/soup high pressure wand type thing and give them a good shot. Just my .02 !

Thumbs up

Just stick the garden hose(presure washer) in the pipe and flush it out the best you can then blow out with air and let dry.
