Default Blistering Paint by Tailpipes...

The Miltek twin tailpipes have always been a snug fit and now I notice slight flaking of paint on the rear valance, just above the tailpipes.

I thought a minimalist metal heat shield might be a good long term solution - but where to get one [and the smallest possible]. NO pop rivets!!!

Anyone any ideas or had a similar same issue?

Cheers D [Scooby by heart, but Audi at the mo'...]

I used Kartboy extra-long exhaust hangers to move the tailpipe 3/4 inch down. They worked beautifully!

or to even more discreet why not use something like a little bit of transparent armourgaurd or the like?

My HKS system came with a small strip of metalic stick on tape.
Can only imagine that is what it is for.
Although I have not noticed any paint damage yet.
Maybe I am not trying hard enough :-)
