So I recently got the Borla cat back installed with the bazooka upgrade from rr racing and noticed the exhaust might be starting to burn the bumper. The tips on the left side are aligned perfectly but the ones in the right side sit close to the bumper. I made an appointment with an exhaust shop to align the tips on the right side but I noticed that there might be some bubbling or spider web cracking starting to happen around the exhaust on both sides of the bumper. Would the carbon diffusers be a good solution to prevent the paint from melting? I was also planning on getting my car wrapped at the end of summer but now I'm thinking I should do it now if the wrap would be able to withstand the heat coming from the exhaust. Is there anything I could do to stop this from getting any worse? Thanks in advance!

I would adjust the tips first before anything. Shouldnt melt the bumper .

Ya I was thinking about that but when I bought my car the bumper was all scratched up and chipped from the previous owner so we had it repainted at a very reputable body shop so I think the repaint doesn't have the heat resistance that oem does. Here's a pic that I have of the tips, idk if anyone can tell if they're angled correctly or not

Aw crap I'll have to keep an eye on mine. What are you doing to even the tips? Cut, add, etc? How you enjoying it btw? I'm still cautious driving.

It looks like the tips on the passenger side are angled down vs the drivers which is more horizontal. Maybe try adjusting the tube directly behind the tips.

Absolutely LOVE the exhaust!!! Fell in love with my car all over again! The exhaust shop said they might have to adjust the hangers and cut a little bit off the pipe but I'll know Friday when I take it in

Ya I kinda noticed that too but didn't know which one was normal or not, I'll have to check that out

You can adjust the hangers or slide the slip on connection in more.

I have diffusers on my car to prevent it from hitting the bumper.

Ya I'm really leaning towards getting one, but haven't entirely made up my mind yet

But after all the rubbing and stuff, my diffuser is still fine..

Are the exhaust pipes not double walled..... to prevent excessive heat build up?

yeah they're double walled, but the entire exhaust system only has resonators so there's definitely a lot of heat coming out the rear

That's good to hear, these diffusers can take a beating then

the burnt bumper just gives the car that 'hardcore " look
