Unhappy Exhaust burning My body kit!!!!

So I added a THMotorsports midpipe to my greddy sp2 exhaust. Ever since i did that the 8 has been shotting alot of flames. And its been burning the fiberglass above my exhaust. so i put aluminum tape on the fiber glass... but it will only last for a little while before i have to keep replacing it =[

does anyone have any tips on how to keep it from burining my fiberglass!!!

Any input is greatly appreciated!

lower your exhaust a bit with longer hangers

or get smaller tips because greddy tips are pretty huge.

Another option is to get a tune from Jeff if you can get your hands on an AP. It's the expensive route but the long term fuel savings is worth it, at least to me.
