TOMEI TI = Burned bumper
SO I have had the Tomei TI installed now for a couple months and slowing the Im getting the Burn mark around the bumper that is right over it.
Anyone have a suggest on how to Fix this issue? Is there a way to reposition the exhaust lower or perhaps a true Heat shield to stop the progress?

I've seen some pretty clean-looking heat shields mounted to bumpers in the past but I see from the picture that the burn is happening in a very inconvenient place.
What I would suggest is look into extended exhaust hangers like Kartboy makes for Subaru's
That may help the canister hang lower and prevent future burning.
Just a thought, GL

Kinda like what pyshin said, you could take the car to an exhaust shop and have them reweld the hangars to make it the canister sit lower. But it looks like you will need to lower it at least an inch to stop all of the burn and in that case the exhaust might look dumb being that low.

Lol mine gets pretty bad, I wash the z Atleast twice a week and drive it even less sometimes. I have a little melting and a huge black exhaust mark.. I've just about come to except the look. Here is a pic from about a month ago.. Doesn't look bad at all in this pic. I'll have to post a pic later since i actually drove it to work today.

If you can get one of the carbon fiber shields to fit with a bumper tuck I'd go with one of those. The exhaust doesn't look like it's extending out far enough. It's so tucked in there under the bumper. Maybe you can adjust it to stick out further by finding the sections of the exhaust that press fit together and pulling them apart slightly
