These stainless steel exhaust shrouds should help with the melting.

Thats a pretty common problem, the exhaust has poor fitment in that sense.

Why did you drive it if the hot exhaust was touching the plastic shrouds?

I think this fitment issue needs to be brought up with Agency Power... I can send them an email if people with the Agency Power exhaust want me too.. If we want to create a list of names & purchase date, Ill put something together & send it that way.

Also verify that the far rear grommets are on the hangers. I too have the AP package and melted the shrouds, but because I forgot to install the far rear grommets to the hangers and the exhaust tips were close to touching (but while driving, it bounced and eventually rested on the shrouds). After I installed the grommets to the hangers, the exhaust was off the shrouds enough to not burn it (anymore).
Never had a fitment issue with mine. I first started with the AP cat-back and AP cat-delete, then removed the cat-delete and installed the stock cat. Never had any fitment issues. Maybe I just got lucky!
