I need help. The exhaust is burning the bumper. On the very bottom you can see the paint is turning brown and its got air bubble in the paint. I didnt notice till I put my car on the hoist at school and saw my bumper like that. What should I do?

have a shop bend the hangers, so the exhaust sits lower.. you can also try to do it yourself if you know how

I have seen some cars with chrome pieces right above where the exhaust is on the bumper, mostly wrx's but I have seen other cars. I asked one guy why he had this. He said it was to stop the bumper from burning or getting a black coating on the bumper. It wipes right off of this metal peice and looks pretty sweet.

ummm... that metal piece is called heat-shield... the same stuff u might find under hoods to cool the engine... and not fry the hood paint.... and yea drop the hangers... ur exhaust will look better hangin lower anyways... lata

not really, it depends on the exhaust. IMO i like exhausts that are snug against the car, but not too close where it burns the bumper. a low exhaust, like my HKS, tends to shake a lot (which is very annoying) and it has a greater risk of scraping

dropping the exhaust is wat majority would do, but also u might have to worry about speed bumps or potholes, if u got some bumpy roads u might wanna think about it before u drop it
