OEM exhaust

[karol_SVK]

Hello CS family,

i am having a strange issue with my exhaust....it was melting my bumper :dapprove:, i just noticed yesterday after a longer journey with spirited driving included when i looked under the car to check things.

I have a stock CAT, stock exhaust, new back exhaust mount, middle is fine too.
There is only one spot where the back silencer is connected to the center section, but playing with it did not change much, so I placed some washers over the back exhaust mount to lower the exhaust end to the bumper level.

It was not damaged much, see the round part behing exhaust tip on the photo (the other was cut before, i had a different exhaust), but i was wondering what could be the problem. Maybe someone can help with more experience. Thanks



edit:
i tried playing around with center mount but raising it up did not lower the back, so i am lost

yes, sometimes you have to cut a bit off the backbox/centre section where they join together

Thats where the experience comes handy

i will try to look at it when i will work on the suspension.
So more distance between bumper and silencer is needed.

Thanks
