Ah.... Mazdaspeed kit rear does not have any problems. I have large tips, but no issues, because there is enough space.

The normal Mazda rear does not seem to give enough clearance space for large exhaust tips. So you have to figure something out like use metal guards, etc....

Does not burn anything, while the car still sounds like a symphony.

do the metal exhaust finishers help stop this?

also, do the metal exhaust finishers help stop the plastic becoming discolored? mine's going a bit gray.

First time I realized how hot the exhaust tips got was after a bird had **** on my car at a red light. As soon as I got home I took out the hose and started to use the water to wash off the bird **** off the trunk lid. As the water was running down the back of my car I started to hear sizzling and steam. It was the water vaporizing as it hit my Greddy exhaust tips! Quite the sound and sight.
