Exhaust is melting my bumper HELP!
Hi guys

I trying to figure out whats wrong with my exhaust.

Its melted my bumper but I have bought a new one but I dont want THAT to melt too..

I have a ebay cannon exhaust and Im trying to see why its melting the bumper.

Is it because its too high? or too short? I think its too high but Ill let you guys be the judge.

If it IS too high, what are my solutions other than welding new hangers? I want to maybe put one rubber through another with a bolt and screw so it sits lower. Then again Im afraid itll shake too much. + its already so low! any more lower and it with scrape of EVERYTHING lol

First pic is my car, the others are just S13s with cannon exhausts.

its your ebay exhaust hangers. With that bolt idea id be worried about messing up turbo gaskets if your sred of you pushed it to much.,

This exact thing happened to me but on a different exhaust. I just got a carbon heat shield for the bumper

I ended up getting adjustable hangers like these afterwards

This is a fairly common issue. I'd start shopping for a rear bumper heat shield. Hopefully, you can find one that fits onto your new rear bumper.

Never heard of anyone with an S13 have issues with an exhaust sitting too high. If anything, it is never high enough.

coupe rear ends are roughly 4" longer than hatch rear ends... damn near 95% of the exhausts on the market are made specifically for the hatch rear bumper. outside of extending your exhaust out to make it sit better on the bumper, the rear metal bumper cover is your best bet.

Thanks for all the advice.

I really don't want a heat shield. I might take my car to the exhaust shop and see what they say about it but I'm more keen on getting those adjustable hangers.

This is why I custom make my own exhausts, rather than worrying about "one size fits all" stuff.

What I learned from this thread:

Zilvia highly recommends bumper heat shields.
