Default exhaust burning rear bumper

Hi Guys, I installed my skunk2 Megapower today and it has already taken some paint off my rear bumper where it is so close due to the heat.

I am using the stock Hangers, does anyone have any suggestions? Would changing the exhaust hangers help? If so, what ones are recommended?

Thanks.

You're welcome.

You may wish to write the "for sale" add now.

I hated my Skunk2 "megapower" exhaust Just my opinion, others seem to love them (shadow).

currently i'm not keen on in it, when i first started it without the silencers it was obnoxiously loud. I have put them in.

I am going to wait for it to bed in before I make a judgement call, I like the sound at WOT. I feel that I should have got a invidia q300.

I'm not sure how much I would get for it, if I sold it.

I am hoping that it quietens down a bit.

Did you have a issue with your skunk2 exhaust burning the bumper? Maybe I just need to adjust the hangers.
