Same yellowing problem on my steel grey. From the messages posted here, there have been a small few success stories and a lot of stories of having problems with warranty. As far as I know, there is no TSB. Good luck.

I first noticed it at about 3000 miles. Stock exhaust definitely is a big factor in causing it to yellow. Having an enclosed casing like our side sills are is another big contributor. I painted the insides with VHT1200 paint and have racked up another 600 miles since. Both sides don't seem to be getting any worse. Another 1000 miles should confirm that but I have already taken another step in keeping this from getting any worse. I ordered the Snake Oyl catback system.

This is the more pricey option which is the cat backs plus the rear sub-assembly, $1495.00. It goes from the end of the cats back to the tips. The rear sub-assembly replaces the rear mufflers with straight pipes, $529.95 by itself. The rest of the cat back assembly replaces the front mufflers. It's a do-it-yourselfer all bolt-on. You can do it, it's pretty easy, as well as the painting. Just look out for all those sharp edges.

Kevin, that brings up an important side issue that I have been
meaning to ask: seems as though hood cracking mainly/only has
affected '95 and earlier cars- does anyone have a '96 or newer
car with any hood cracking?
