Default greddy ti-c burning my rear bumper?

I've had the greddy ti-c single exhaust with helix test pipes for around 2 years now. I love everything about it except for my exhaust leak I gotta get fixed. The exhaust hangs really close to the rear bumper and literally melts it. I'll snap some pictures when it's nice out.

My jp type n body kit is coming in soon and I don't want this exhaust to burn my rear lip as well. Is there anything I can do? Maybe get lower exhaust mounts? Only reason I'm trying to stay away from that is cause my car is going to be slammed and I don't want to scrape everywhere.

Thanks for any input.

I know that the Ti-C used to have burning issues but I heard they recently fixed it(maybe within the last year?) My Ti-C is fairly close to the bumper but not touching and it doesnt even heat it up much. I bought mine last August btw.

Damn, thanks for that info.. I definitely got the very first batch of ti-c's cause I remember it JUST came out. I've also noticed on some Z's the Ti-C hangs lower but I thought it was just me.


I wonder if anyone with similar issues has found a fix for this?

Also I think test pipes makes a night and day difference.. Some pictures would be nice for fellow ti-c owners.

Actually this is probably true, I will be getting test pipes when I get back to the states so we shall see what happens. I just thought of another thing, is your bumper tucked?
