exterior exhuast heatsheild?

[BadgerType]

hello noobs


i am having an issue with my exhaust and the soot tht comes from it. it has turned my bottom lip around the exhaust tip black and the heat has started to melt the lip. nothing noticable yet, but i am concerned.

should i make a heatsheild out of some spare sheet metal and attach it to the lip to protect the paint or just leave it as is cause it will mess up the look of the car?

some dude on AT bolted a heat shield to his bumper to stop that from happening... u can try that... if i find pics, i will post but from what i remember, it lookd good

hi noob, welcome to the forum

if you painted it fpr, would the paint melt off it? there has to be some premade ones on ebay...if youre lucky enough, you might even find a type r one

the paint has cracked already on the bottom of the lip.

It's worth while if your having a problem with the tip melting the bumper. I've seen a few done on accords and IMO they don't look bad at all. Just space your rivets evenly and keep it looking nice.

I say do it, cuz Poly isn't easy to fix once it's been ruined, even though it takes alot to ruin a poly lip.

/\/\ Thats what I was thinking...

What you could always do it grab some spare sheet metal and if you know someone have them wrap it in carbon fiber. Similar yo the Evo's.
