Exhaust Plate Thing

[Jakeyc]

Just had new exhaust fitted for my birthday, twin exit sportex one. But the previous owner had cut a section out of the bumper for a single exhaust (guess).
So now there is a gap above my exhaust, i was wondering whether to extend the cut in the bumper or simply cover it with an exhaust protector/heat plate.
Any advice?
Also i have looked for these exhaust protector/heat plate but cannot find them, please help
cheers

Oooo i would just have gone for a single exit to begin with, but that looks sweet, i would personally plate it, cuz it you ever want to go back to standard or get a different smaller exhaust you;ll have the same problem but without a fix! :O

Heat Plate although cuting into the bumper might look better lol

make the cut out to mirror the shape of the twin exhaust.. so just extend the cut out you already have, that'll look good IMO..

i would cut it mate, those plate things dont look too good... nice exhaust though

I would say who ever fitted your new exhaust should have cut it into the bumper to suit.

It was fitted while i was away on holiday and they werent sure what i wanted done with it so he left it as it was.
Cutting it seems to be the wiser option then?

yep get it cut to match twin pipes

 

[evans.398]

yea get it cut to match the shape of your pipe

 

[Blue4Ever]

Yeah get it cut a bit bigger and then if needed the exhaust raised to fit.

 

[Jakeyc]

ok thanks for all the advice

i would cut all around the exhaust and get it relined in the gap
