            I simply mention adding an exhaust tip to save my bumper and you drill me with questions and what you think I should do with MY car... And you wonder why people get annoyed with you...

            If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

            • OK.. Sorry for putting my feedback in.. But I don't think I have the issue here.

              You put it up as a problem.. Not me.. I just provided feedback and tbh thinking a v6 isn't going to cause you issues in regards to running hotter really isn't my issue... Considering I presumed you would have taken that into account.

              All good no hard feelings.

                Eurotiva has the fastest Festiva on record using a BPT using the stock Festiva exhaust. No way you are choking yours any more than his unless it is plugged. Plus if it was choking, your idle would be slower. I would start with the things that Matt didn't try.

                  I didn't ask for your feedback.... I put up the pic as something to laugh at... I laughed at my burnt bumper.... I didn't post it "as a problem"

                  Where the hell did I say "can I get advice on exhaust tips to fix this problem".... I'm not stupid, I know what I need to do

                  I had a hunch this problem would come up because i know festivas were never meant for a V6 but I don't post a thread every time I "think" of a possible issue I might encounter.... But I'll post pics of the aftermath, like I did

                  • Well if you knew that v6 would issues like this.. Why leave it to become an issue?

                      Just like why would I try a V6 swap cause everyone "thinks" it won't fit

                      Until you push the limits, you don't know what's gunna fit, function or break.... It's how you learn.... I under-estimated the temperatures at the tailpipe and i learned, so I shared a pic so other can learn as well

                      • But you said you thought it might be a problem?

                        All good by man.. Sorry it happened to the better man in this situation..

                        I was only giving feedback cause I'd be shattered if it were me.. Spending all that money on a bumper to have that happen.. I'd be pissed actually.

                        • What have you done to your Festiva today!?

                          I'll answer your question just so you drop the damn subject and leave me alone about it, but after this i'm done responding

                          It's like beating a dead horse here



                          The burnt section will interfere with any tip I put there.... So originally I didn't want to cut it just to add a tip if it wasn't necessary... Cause I spent a lot of money and wasn't gunna cut it up if I didn't have too.... Now it's proven necessary... So I will now cut the burnt section out... which is needed for clearance to add a 2-1/2" tip and there will be no signs of the damage left

                          Hence why I don't care and find it funny
