Exhaust staining the bumper
Exhaust staining the bumper I have LT's and an ORY. Right now I have some cheap chrome tips that are tucked real close to the bumper. My car is white and its leaving a brown stain that is hard to get off all over the bumper. I have to use a clay bar to clean it. In the future I will be running a new Hooker exhuast with some Megs oval tips. I'm going to make sure these are placed further away and lower than my current setup to keep the staining down. I didn't have this problem with the stock y-pipe and cats. I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem. I didn't notice it at first but after closer inspection it was really discolored. So if you are running an ORY, you might want to check your bumper for staining.

Re: Exhaust staining the bumper Welcome to the wonderful world of a white car with no cats. I had this problem to. I think its mainly because our car do in fact burn oil. The cats seem to soak up all that **** coming out of the exhaust. It will come off easy with some type of solovent like mineral spirts. Then you will need to re wax it. I had my rear valance painted graphite so you couldn't see it so much.
Good luck! Mine doesn't do it any more, but I don't have a stock motor anymore either. I blew up the stock motor and replaced it with a ARE short block.
