    Default Does your muffler scorch your bumper?

    Mine does. The tip actually makes contact with the bumper and it started to crack the paint. Is that normal? I just got the car fully repainted and I want to avoid the area near the bumper getting cracked again. What are some solutions? Could I make some sort of shield?

    no, never had that problem. I do believe they make something you put on the bumper to prevent it. I've seen it on a car before, but can't think of the name right now

    This thread is dumb as shit.

    If your car has a venting blow off valve or bigger injectors with no cat, you'll shoot flames.

    Let your car catch on fire with you in it. That should take care of everything.

    hahaha besides doing the above recommendation, i would ajust the hangers so it hangs slightly lower, or get a smaller muffler OR just take a sander and increase ur bumpers opening.
    When I was a child, I used to talk as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I put aside childish things.
