exhaust rubbing my rear bumper
 
my RB duel tip is rubbing against my c-west rearbumper.

i dont want to do anything to "pull" it away from its normal spot.

im wondering if there are any kind of heat resistant padding of some sort to put in between the bumper and the exhaust so it wont rub while driving?

thanks

An oven mitt?

if its rubbing, i don't think even a CF bumper guard is gonan do much for long, well unless you get it cast out of several layers of kevlar :) (I'd do it for you but i don't got a template of how a cwest rear bumper is)

if you can find me someone in hawaii with a cwest rear bumper that I can copy, I'll gladly do it for you, i just need to use their car for about 30 mins to take a mold.

whatever you decide to do. do it quick because I belive the heat from the exhaust will start to melt your bumper.

to be more presize, the side of the exhaust cannister is lightly touching the bumper.

Just bend the hangers so it doesn't rub anymore. Take it to a muffler shop, they should be able to do that.

Yea, that's what I was gonna say. My HKS CF Ti is angled, and it touches the edge of the C-west rear bumper as well. I'mma have to get it bent lightly...

Goto a professional Muffler shop i'm sure they can rig something so the rubbing doesnt occur..
