Rear valance damage around exhaust tips

[sparty116]

I have recently installed the 3" corsa exhaust and was wondering if the rear valance can be damaged by the 4" tips being so hot? It already appears to be warping a little when it is hot. If damage can be done, how can I prevent/slow it?

I use this mirror polished stainless steel exhaust shield, works great and looks good. Machine screws or rivits to hold it on. $104 delivered priority mail. Shoot me a pm if you're interested.

Agreed - those plates look great on both the cars...

I too was concerned about this since I have a very small area of contact at the edge of my Corsa pipes. The Corsa pipes have a double wall that should insulate enough to avoid temps that would damage the valance. I periodically have been checking mine and so far no damage or malformations. Hope this helps.

I drive like a madman posessed and have had no discoloration or 'melting" problems.

The exhaust shield looks great and I think from the road would certainly appear perfect. However, as a meticulous Viper freak, as I think a lot of us are, I would be bothered by the gap at the lower edge. The plate appears to not conform well to the shape of the bumper valence. Are there other brands, or a way to install this with a better fit?

The plate is 16 ga. stainless and can be shaped to your particular valance.

Who else makes this exhaust plate? Does anyone have pics of Larry M's version? Thanks!
