So I just installed a tsudo catback on my 09 cobalt. Original exhaust hangers were too short and the exhaust tip was right on the bumper. I drove to autozone, 15 minutes away, to get longer hangers because I figured it would be okay for that long. Unfortunately it wasn't. I've got the new hangers on now but my bumper is melted and looks like ****. Other than replacing the bumper, anything I could do? Thanks guys

 

holy crap lmao ... got the JDM tilt on that bad boy..... its a base model ?

 

Yeah it's a base lt 2 door

 

Lesson learned. It happens. Don't think there a best way to fix it besides maybe some yellow touchup paint. What's melted is melted.

 

can you put the ss lip on it and cover it up ? if not new bumper it is lol

my exhaust is like 1 finger width away from my bumper and hasn't melted it.

 

And I'm gonna sound stupid but what does that mean lol

 

I'm not sure. I would need to get one to find out. I want to put the ss kit on it anyways so I might be looking for one of those soon..

 

just google image "JDM Muffler Tilt" youll see lol

i retract my jdm comment lol

after further evaluation, i tilted my head lmao and see your exhaust come out flat .. NVRmind

 

That's what it looked like until I got the longer hangers. Hence the melted bumper lol

 

yeah hopefully a lip kit should cover it up
