Default New muffler tip close - will paint / plastic be damaged?

Hi Everyone - I just had a magnaflow 15889 put on for me (and i know the installer -he does good work - so thing is in the right position). To me, it looks like the tip doesn't extend past the bumper very far, so i am wondering if i am gonna cook my paint or plastic. I guess time will tell, but would rather avoid going there...

BTW its on a 09 V6.

Cheers

Gary

Thanks for the info - I'll see if i can find that review. Its till early, but i like the sound quite a bit. I wanted nice tone, but not stupid loud, espec as the convertible is intended asour weekend out of town vacation car, not a muscle show. So the Magnaflow is certainly louder than stock but in a good way. I still have to get out and play to see what performance gains are happening. I haven't heard a drive by, but stnding behind the tone is nice, kinda contemporary (whatever that means ha ha)

So as long as the paint don't burn off the bumper - so far i am liking it!

yes, exhaust can melt your bumoer like it did mine, but mine was touching, and its not bad, and it doesnt get any worse after the initial melt
