Problems with body melting?

anyone ever have any problems with the body melting or distorting from the exhaust on the MT

I switched to a ddm dominator pipe and cut the body to avoid that

Premixed fuel will elliviate some of the oil residue, there's conflicting mix info material that comes with directions I use 25:1 premix ratio, only problem can't find 25:1 premix. Take 50:1 ratio then add same amount of plain fuel the ending ratio is 25:1.

wouldn't you be short on oil
based on a gallon
25:1 you would need about 5.oz of oil
50:1 you would need about 2.5 oz of oil
If you added plain fuel to 50:1 you would be cutting oil in half therefore less oil

If you are using the standard Redcat tuned pipe it will warp your body. I made a mistake and bought one to replace the factory fart can and it only lasted a couple of runs anyway before cracking. Went ahead and bought a Dominator pipe and now I will have to cut the lower section as angryhungarian87 said.

So what's the best exhaust to use to avoid the melting problems? The catback can?

I would get a DDM Dominator Pipe. You will be glad you did. You no longer have to worry about getting oil on the back if the truck and it increases low end torque and smoothes out the high end. A win win. You will still have to cut the body a little.

Cut any part of the body that touches the pipe (if at all) and drill several holes above the pipe to release heat.

Here's what the "stock" tuned pipe did to my body.

Added, this no melting,cutting or trimming and it slips into the straight pipe. works great looks good too

Looks good!

Thanks!, added the rear bumper for strength, body was wavy in the back

not to change the subject but your tires are on backsward

Thanks I took them off to balance guess I wasn't paying attention when I put them on.
