need some advice

I have an 06WRX with a Helix TBE. The problem I am running into is that my bumper is turning black because I have no cats. I have looked, with no luck, to find something to put on the bumper to prevent this. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I don't think anyone has a product out for the 06 yet.....
Most anything is going to require screws or rivets into the rear bumper Forrest....
If you can handle doing that...I'm sure with some tin snips, some thin sheet metal and maybe a grind wheel, that we could come up with something.

I have the extended kartboy hangers on the muffler and I get no black on the bumper and am completely catless. Only cost $8 bucks a piece. I love the look of the carbon piece but $103 what a rip off.

Forest i think you will be fine with some Kartboy long exhaust hangers. I have had no problems with mind turning black and I backfire a lot.
