    Default Exhaust melted shield

    I took my left Tupperware off to measure and found the new heat shield melted to my exhaust pipe.

    My question is: Is there a way to keep the shield from coming into contact with the exhaust pipe?
    Will wrapping the exhaust pipe keep it from melting the shield? What is the best way to correct this situation?

    Thank you for your help.

    Hi,

    I bought a used 2012 RSS recently and it is fitted with the ST radiator mod as described by you.

    My question is: hot air is still escaping from under the scoop/shoot from the radiator to my feet. How do you deal with it?

    Thank you so much.

    The thread dates back to 2013. Might be hard to get an answer from the above. There are others on board who may help though.

    I suggest 'gang' that you start a new thread describing your issue and requesting help finding a solution. Clear pictures are always a good idea.

    Good luck.
