Is it just me or does anyone else think that our rear bumper were made poorly? I'd noticed that after a drive, the exhaust tips gets build ups from dirty, sand, mud (if u ran over a patch of it) or whatever that's on the road. I find myself having to clean the top of the exhaust tips repeatedly, anyone else?

 

How do you equate dirty exhaust tips with the rear bumpers quality?

 

^^ Agreed.

Perhaps he's wondering if the overall design/shape of the bumper causes significant dirt build up on the exhaust tips?

 

^^^ Sorry guys, yeah this is what I'd meant... Thank you Hoovey2411

 

I don't see what bumper design has to do with exhaust particles on the tip of the exhaust..

 

stuff gets dirty, we cant prevent that

 

or if you dont like your oem bumper
you can trade with me and get the element 114 rear bumper

 

put a plastic bag over the tips

 

uhhhh..... getting dirty is normal on any car?????

 

It even happens with aftermarket exhausts, so it's normal. I have to clean mine every 2 days to help keep it looking shiny.

 

All tips get dirty from normal driving. But if you are saying you're noticing gutter splashes on the tops of the tips, then that might be a bit odd. (I've never seen this on mine.) Usually the tips get plastered on the bottom side as you drive. Regardless, clean your tips once a week so the heat from them does not bake in the goop.

 

Yep, I get build ups on top of the tips like crazy. Never had that happened on all my other vehicles which is why I'd mentioned it. I understand that things gets dirty, that's not what I'm trying to say. It's weird that dirt, mud, or whatever's on the road would build up on top of the exhaust tips.

 

Most interesting. As a sufferer of TOS (Tailpipe Obsession Syndrom), I've never come across this. Now I'll be lookin!
