has anyone else with zzp exhaust had the bumper melted by the exhaust tip. i am furious right now. this is my 3rd exhaust, i have had magnaflow and hahn and never had a problem.
i don't know why the exhaust tip it welded on a slightly upward angle. i am going to mess with it some to try to get it to stop melting it more and now i need to have my bumper fixed.

Curious why you've switched exhausts? all 3 inch im assuming? I know you just came from Hahn correct?

yeah i really just changed because i didnt want to cut the hahn up to take the resonator out and i had to buy a new downpipe so i just got a new exhaust from turbo back

and yeah all 3in

Try adjusting the hangers.

Also, you can pick up rubber grommets from Advance Auto and slide them onto your exhaust hangers to help adjust/secure the rubber hangers. This will help move the tip over so it stops resting against the bumper.

The downpipe I run on my car caused my catback to move slightly to the left when looking at the rear of the car. I wanted to center the exhaust, so I installed the rubber grommet I mentioned, and it moved the exhaust back over center.

Worked great!

it has nothing to do with the hangers you can see it in one of the pics that they are not even up and down they are on an angle.
it is the fact the exhaust tip is not welded to the muffler right.

man that sucks. i have my stock tip adjusted tucked up by the bumper and dont see signs of this happening .

Bl4des

iTrader: (4)

look at that not the only one. that is a zzp right

have you ever contacted them about it

Twoozofjuice

iTrader: (7)

No I haven't talked to zzp about it. What are they gonna do get me a new bumper? lol. And this one is the 2.5 inch

Bl4des

iTrader: (4)

yeah if it is there fault they should have to have it fixed and any damage they cause fixed

if there wasn't an upward angle on the muffle tip there would be no problem and the catback would fit great.

Yeah I really really doubt that. But if you contact them and they send you a bumper let me know and i'll have to send them a email also haha

Bl4des

iTrader: (4)

i didnt leave it like that it moved when driving. i move it back so it is not touching anything hopefully it stays this time. it didnt melt it to bad, wont be hard to fix it when i have time to

Add gmpp to that list^

That's what I had on before and it fit perfectly. Never touched my bumper. Install this and on the first day I torch my bumper. Moving it around did nothing.
