Hi All:

I am currently installing a new 3inch exhaust and headers from Jim K. I've seen posts of people who melt the inner fenders. The only solution I remember suggested was to throw away the inner fenders. That is not a choice I would like to make. Canadian roads have too much dirt that kicks onto the engine. Is the melting common to most of your installations? What kinds of pre-emptive Solutions have you used or did you just not have that big a problem. What other elegant heat protection strategies have you used for speed cable?
