exhaust melting body?

i was thinking about getting skunk2 exhaust, but i heard about it being soo close that it melts the body, is this true, and can you make it a little bit lower if it does? I like exhaust to be real close to body, but not if its gonna do that. Also, is skunk2 exhaust real loud?, laters

I don't know about that particular exhaust but I do know that if the muffler is touching the body that it will most likely get hot ad start to melt the bumper! You can fix this by simply using longer exhaust hangers available at your local muffler shop or auto part store.

skunk2 exhaust on a sedan melts the back bumper unfortunatly...
all u have to do is shave some of the bumper so it doesnt melt it.
btw skunk2 exhausts sound pretty sweet.
remember to search before u ask

Just mod the hangers to keep the muff off the bumper. It's very simple!

- i got the exhaust and just tell the mechanic to adjust the hangers so the tip isn't so close to the bumper

Just as long as it is not touching the bumper. I think me magnaflow is like maybe 1cm or so in seperation.

yo bartkat
i wasnt referring to his question about the bumper melting...
i was just saying to do a search before he asks since i noticed he had a junior member tag on him.
i once was a junior member and i got flamed for askin questions before searching.
and i do remember answering a fourm about that a long time ago.

My B/f had the same problem w/ his N1. You can either mod the hangers for it to hang lower causing it to scrape....or cut your bumper.
