your muffler is getting hot and its melting your bumber. either someone who bended it did a shitty job or just got a wrong axelback or hangers are to small.. but yea if i was you. i take it off and get the one that fits without touching your bumber. you wouldn't want to cut up a nice OEM bumber.. it will just look like **** and very noticable

maybe try bending the hangers on the muffler slightly so it's no resting directly against it....or just deal with it i guess, i wouldnt cut it i'd rather have mine melt at that point.

heat up the hangers and bend them out so it hangs lower.

well the bumper isn't in perfect condition, not even in a good condition. cuz therez a crack right dab in the middle.

so i might cut it, smooth it out, and maybe post a picture up after itz done. what do you guyz think?
