Melted Bumper

I just installed the Kamikaze header, I have had the Apex N1 catback for around 2 years, I look down at my exhaust today as I get into my trunk and my notice my bumper had melted onto my exhaust. Has anybody else had this problem? I have not noticed an increase in my cars running temperature.

Under the rear section when I first got the exhaust put on I had that issue once. It was only a small section in the back and it isn't noticable because I have the oem stock rear lip kit.

you need to have your muffler/muffler tip atleast one inch below your bumper. most exhaust guys will tell you this.
