Has anyone seen this for our 8G!?

[Asierra_999]

Just wanted to see if anyone has seen or know of anyone that could make this!? Thanks! http://www.s2carbonworks.com/lancer-evo-8-carbon-fiber-exhaust-guard8.html

Why do you want that? Serves no purpose really, and $120 or so you could spend elsewhere, just my opinion.

But do whatever you want, Im sure Cali or someone with auto body experience could mock something up for ya. Possibly you could buy that one and retrofit it to the galant.

[platano]

it actually does serve a purpose. its supposed to be a little heat sheild that prevents the exhaust tip from heating up the paint and peeling up your bumper. they are usually made of some type of aluminum or other metal, but this one is a carbon fiber looking one obviously for aesthetics.

but yeah i've always wanted one of these for my G. It would sit well on a vr-4 rear bumper.

[bmaddock]

Oh ok, I guess that makes sense but like you said this one appears to be for show, and ultimately a $120 i would spend elsewhere.

[Ruslik]

yea its over priced and besides your car isnt cool enough or fast enough to have that
when u get 250 or above whp you can buy it

[6G72Galant]

Why not make your own for much cheaper?

he was being nice I guess lol I am not a fan of CF one I saw one on a scion tc looks rice get aluminum fit it your self 15 bucks from home depo youre done and can fit your 4'' exhaust tip without worrying about burns.

[Asierra_999]

Thanks to all that replied with a semi-decent response.....as you can see I wasnt willing to spend much on this non the less a $120 at that...soo thats why I left this thread to find out my options..My exhaust is burning my bumper just in that area only so I was looking for something similar (to make or buy cheaply) thats all.... well thanks for all the true help I do get!

how are you burning your bumper on a stock Galant??

[Asierra_999]

ummm who said it was completely stock?! I didn't...doesnt anyone bother to look in the garage!? lol..well ill post pics in the morning!

performance wise you are stock, i mean for crying out loud you spent $260 on the GTZ cf interior trim

i would get that bumper guard if they made it for our cars and i would pay that much for it

Jigz, maybe he's running rich. lol

[RedGalant2k1]

It serves a purpose no matter the material used to create it. Afterall in this case it IS for a Evolution. The urethane bumper would easily melt under continued heat.

I'll admit, I LOL'd a little.

And look at Dave being all serious and calling an Evo by its full name. ;)

The answer I'm still looking for is... why would you put this on your car? Even if you went turbo or SC, does your tailpipe end right before the start of your bumper? *shrug*

[Asierra_999]

wow all I was looking for was some help I thought the tip guard was interesting sorry!!!
heres my problem.......now this only started happening after I deleted the catalytic converter and its a straight pipe now........

Oh and polish..yes my exhaust as you can see is too short and I plan on fitting an extension soon!? Thank you for all the help I wasnt planning on getting flamed just for this but oh well....

[youngin3]

Just get an exhaust tip put on and have it stick out about 1/4 of an inch...

[4g63lover]

oh wow. that explains it. Dude, all you had to do was explain yourself, dont get butthurt cuz someone said something you didnt like. we're all trying to help you after all.

how loud is your Galant without a catalytic converter?? any resonators or did you delete all those?? how big is the piping...

btw, to keep it from burning your bumper even more, you should probably extend the exhaust a little more so that its not underneath the bumper like that.

Alright well I will thoroughly explain myself from now on, I wasnt too butt hurt over it haha soo anywayyys....
my car is quite loud it souds throaty and well ill have to record it soon and post a video.....the total piping is 2.5" all the way back and the cat back exhaust I bought had a resonator as well .....I will extend the exhaust tip this weekend hopefully that resolves the issue, thanks all!!

[fatal1]

measure the hole and get a universal one, although i would fix the problem first. the exhaust placement should be out a bit more i would either weld on a tip of some kind or weld on a few inches to extent it a bit

Ya actually somewhat like that, its just a little too small.....I should have the exhaust extended a few inches near the muffler by this weekend so that it matches up with the bumper.....hopefully that resolves my problem! Thanks!

[Kyleg]

Mine is directly inline with the bumper and doesnt stain the bumper
