i own a 2006 type s and i just bought a hks hi power exhaust, but that **** melted my bumper off, what can i do to prevent it, can i buy a sheet of carbon fiber and just mold it on to my bumper

 

yea you're probably gonna need a new lower lip. you can prevent burning and melting in the future with extended exhaust hangers, available at most auto parts stores.

 

damn it happened to you too ... lol ... i was wondering if i can just drill a little sheet of metal into the area where the exhaust comes on and keep it from burning off anymore ... damn we need new rear bumpers ... lol

 

that sucks. just extend your hangers

 

extend your passenger side hanger. thats all you need. you need the mufffler to move to the right more to make it center with the molding in the bumper. Thats what i did to mines. The muffler shop just cut my hanger in half and welded a 3 inch piece of hanger in there for me. solved the problem.

 

for my exhaust i have to move it to the left, what i was thinking was putting like a sheet of carbon fiber right under the exhaust i was wondering if that would help

 

I had the exact same problem with the HKS hi power, i have a hole about an inch in diameter in my bumper I tried to get heat absorbant material but it didn't work. As the carbon fiber goes I know that you are able to get some that fit evo's but never found ones for an RSX. But the muffler shop said cutting your hanger is the most realistic and practical option.

 

what about just cutting the bumper

 

id rather look into another exhaust than cut my perfectly fine bumper
but thats just me
getting extension for the hangers would be the best solution

 

yea...i've had this exhaust for a while and never really cared to look at the rear lip until just recently..

that ****** is GONE. now...i can either get an extended hanger...or get another exhaust.

problem is....extended hanger ain't gonan do **** b/c its already burnt to hell. and for me to get another exhaust...it'll probably look horrible b/c im gonna go with the WS or Exmag and that lip looks like ***.

oh well.

i say...if your **** isn't so bad...get the rear hanger extended. if its already toast....**** it. haha

 

Instead of cutting the steel hangers and getting longer ones can you get longer rubber hanger to solve the problem?

 

yes

 

forget about new exhaust ... not many give you as much performance and nice sound ... and it looks hot being that is offset too ... anyway i agree with k-dub ... if its still there get the hangers or longer rubber and if not f-it your still looking good with the hks ...

 

ANYONE HAVE ANY PICTURES OF THEIR EXTENDED HANGER HKS HI-POWER?

 

search on CRSX, there was a thread about it not too long ago

 

Tried can't find pics

 

i cut a piece of metal from lows to fit the shape of the bumper and you cant even tell its there. i didnt want to get extended hangers because it took away from the tilt that being the reason why i got it. its is really thin and flexible it goes in light bulb fixtures for the heat shield.... worked great

 

taken from MR.K20A from CRSX:
longer rubber hangers

stage 1, like stock hangers:

stage 2, a little lower:

stage 3, really low:

 

Nice, thanks for the pics

 

looks kinda weird having them them that low ... HMMM

 

The first pic is as low as i would go.

 

its good for lip kits and aftermarket bumpers
nice find

 

Those hangers are a must have with the HKS Melt-Power

 

lol at "melt-power"

 

we always own up these threads, ya know? us 3 lol
