Robert, are you angling the new exhaust tips up more than stock? Those tips run over 500 degrees- hot enough to melt solder- in a hard- driven Pantera. So the decals are usually short lived anyway. And the exhaust seems to get caught in the upward air blast around the rear of the car. One U.S GT-5 with short upturned tailpipe tips melted both his taillight lenses in a single 90 mile wide-open blast some years ago. There's also enough rear lift from that aero to spin the tires in 5th if you have the horsepower to run to 175 or beyond....
