Gsxraddict Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Hi all. I've just recently bought a scorpion exhaust for the z. Been fitted no more than a month and it has melted the bumper. Any body else had this problem. Pi##ed off to say the least Quote
delz0r Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 I have an invidia gemini and it can get very hot. I badly burned my leg off it 2 weeks ago, was a sunny day and I was wearing shorts. My bumper looks fine though. Is your exhaust touching the bumper? Quote
Stutopia Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 The scorpion which was one my Zed when I bought it didn't melt the bumper. I've now got a CF diffuser on there too, which sits even closer to the tips (without touching) but hasn't caused any melting. Are your tips actually touching the bumper? Quote
bamdc2 Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 I have one but hasnt melted the bumper. Been on their almost 3 years. Quote
cmck13 Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 Not an issue I've heard of, has it been badly fitted, photos would help not easy trying to visualise it? Quote
370Ad Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 Mine burnt the bumper on the 50 but only at a track day. Normal driving and it was fine. Quote

Carbon fibre won't melt, it will burn however Quote
