Post Exhaust Question

Hey guys. I would like to know if you need exhaust finishers for an aftermarket exhaust?

If I get the Greddy, I don't want to find out later it has melted the bumper.

Also, do the exhaust finishers fit on an aftermarket bodykit because I might put one on later?

Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

just make sure, that when you install your aftermarket exhaust w/ an aftermarket rear bumper, that the exhaust tip extends out further than the bumper and that there is at least .5-1" clearance all around the tip.

If you track your car, you might want to reconsider the greddy. While on the track, my car sometimes shoots fireballs when I heel-toe downshift. My Greddy exhaust has melted the plastic around the exhaust tips.

I track my 8 and have a Greddy, I also have Exhaust Finishers. IMO the Finishers are a waste of money, but HERE is a photo of what it will look like.
