Rep Power: 0 Exhaust tip on bumper
I ordered the OBX B3 rear section exhaust for my LX sedan and the tip is on the bumper, imoved it around and its there, drove a bit and havent noticed a problem yet...but i have to drive 30 mins to work...will it melt or catch on fire? I did a search and on monday will DEFINATELY get a muffler shop to lower the hangers

Rep Power: 0 It won't catch on fire. The bumper might start heating up and have this "wavey" shape (but that only happens if you drove for after a couple of days with your setup).

Rep Power: 0 Hey civicskater, I have the same exhaust and when I got a professional to install it, it was flush up against my bumper. I got the people to lower the muffler by bending the brackets, but now it hits my sway bar and makes a very annoying squeaking noise when turning or going over bumps at low speeds. Make sure to get the brackets bent to where the bumper and exhaust barely touch or else your sway bar and exhaust piping will hit.

Rep Power: 0 oh wait, you only have the rear section, I have the complete catback and I don't know where the rear section meets with the original piping. Still make sure this doesn't happen or it will annoy you to death.
