does the HKS 30th ann. exhaust burn or melt the bumper. I ordered a RMR but hasnt shipped they are redesigning them so they dont melt the bumper. I am going to go TUrbo xs though

 

i have had the hks titiuam one for a while now and the back bumper is fine.

 

I've got an EVO VII HKS Hi-Power on mine.. It comes right up to the edge of the bumper.. I get black on the bumper but it doesn't melt.. You can get the black off right away with rubbing compound... A few strokes and it's gone..

 

I get the same black on my bumper with the RMR. It also wipes right away. Never melted anything though.

 

you only get the black stain from running catless but they do come off easily even when i wash my car. i got the RMR turboback also and no burnt bumper or anything and some cops even think its stock

 

i got the JIC and it melted it in 2 spots...not noticible tho

 

I'm not sure who you talked to but we are not redesigning our system. We are out of stock and we are making more. The black stuff on the bumper means your car is running rich. Thats somewhat normal for a stock evo.

 

mine melted the bumper at the very back end. ITs not too big a deal, and you can't really see it, but it is strange b/c it was installed perfectly, with the hangers aligned correctly.

 

My Buschur JDM gets the black bumper treatment as well. I guess I should try and claybar it.

 

I took off one of the cat' converters and ran an aluminum test pipe with an American Racing 2.5"/4" exhaust and I get zero black or melting...and the tip is very close to my bumper.

 

i know the hks jdm version was melting the bumpers due to the slightly bigger usdm bumper.

 

I have the RMR exhaust along with the RMR downpipe and I am having the bumper burning problem to. It is also making a mark on the muffler from being rubbed and burned. How the hell can I get this fixed.

 

yeah i get black stuff but i can take that off easily but after that i get some yellowish around the edges and my car is white. is that a burn?

 

The HKS ti does blacken the bumper. does the 30th anniversary version angle out as well?

 

i got an ebay catback and it fits perfect on the car.. the tip comes out prob 10cm out of the bumper.. so its not sticking way out.. doesnt melt at all!
