Melted body around aftermarket tips
After the track day at Spring Mountain during Mfest I was greeted by this sight. The other side is perfectly fine too. Anyone know if there is an aftermarket exhaust body cover piece currently available for our cars?

+1 looks like the muffler is moving around quite a bit.

It's not, that hanger comes loose fairly easily, I put a washer on mine so it wouldn't. But the bolt pulls right through the hanger.

The fit wasn't perfect for sure. The guy I bought them off took a set of Remus universal cans and got a shop to custom fit them. I wasn't going to complain for $350. That zender piece is the right idea minus the screw holes ideally.

Just make one. Go to a shop (or friend etc) and have them attach a heat shield kind of thing. Seems like an easy enough job and I'm sure it could be done in a way that makes it completely invisible. Kind of like the RPI Skid Plates for the area around the pipes... Use aluminum or some metal that doesn't conduct heat as aggressively as, I'm assuming, stainless does...
