Just had an afterburner backbox fitted, it's very close to rear bumper and melted a bit of the paint, would a heat shield stop that, where can I get one from?

Heat wrapping it would work

I have a carbon fibre heat shield on my own (more for aesthetics than fear of melted bumper) but due to the close proximity of your exhaust to the bumper perhaps a metal one would be better for you

They are quite easy to find, try the usual suspects;

HT Auto's etc

Hope this helps

would a carbon fibre one stand the heat, John, do you mean heat wrapping the back box or putting a bit on the bumper?

I don't want anything that will melt!

I meant the box where it's melting the bumper, but hadn't thought of sticking a strip on the underside of the bumper which would probably do the job and look better. Other option might be to drop the exhaust hangers an inch or so.

how do you lower the hangers?

Do I need new hangers

Perhaps that exhaust wasn't designed to fit your car properly - go tell the manufacturer
Is this one of those stupid and unnecessarily large noisy back boxes

It's a brand new afterburner vortex, i think i will get the brackets bent upwards slightly

99greenwagon, where can I get longer hangers from? If I can't find some I will get the hangers bent upwards, Thanks

I took it back to the guys that fitted it and he bashed the hangers with a hammer until it lowered down
