RSR ex mag touching bumper..

just got an RSR ex mag exhaust system and when i put it on....its right against my bumper....i have a sedan with xenon kit...and my xenon rear didnt come with a cutout....im wondering if the exhaust tip on this exhaust will burn up my bumper....it actually looks like its in place and thats its made to be like that and looks good but its just against my bumper underneath..

Try some duct tape on the underside of the bumper. I've seen a few people do that and it seems to prevent any melting.

Can you post some pics? I'm thinking about getting the RSR in the future.... what do you mean your xenon back didnt come with a cut out?

i seen cars with a sheet of metal right above the tip and under the bumper. im guessing they cutted out themselves so it fits perfectly right under. dunno how it attaches to the bumper though, but im guessing double side tape/adhesive?

I thought the Xenon kit was identical for both the sedan and coupes? Is this what you mean.... your kit doesnt have that little cut out?

You're gonna have to cut it out... its designed to hug the cutout in the stock bumper, which it does quite well. Even with the liner pipe inside the tip, it gets quite hot.
