Put a dump pump on it so that the hot exhaust gases arent being pushed over your rear bar...

I had the same problem and by sticking a dump pipe in place of the straight tip solved the problem for me

My Redback system melted mine, but in defence of the installers they did have their concerns and offered to relocate the pipe and shift the system down a little. I just let it go... you cant easily see it anyway

I think the question was "what is a dump pipe?" it was posted in the same minute as me.

When ya get the muffler installed, mention to the guys that the tip should be about 1cm down away from the bumper (the place I go to swears by this) and only every here and there does it touch and doesnt melt at all. I've had a few different tips on it too and none of them bothered the bumper

You could always just stick a verada bumper on which has a metal exhaust gaurd :)
But you should have some sort of clearance

aslong as you dont have the tip too close to the bumper its fine. My tip is located about 1 cm away from the lip of the bumper and its done absolutely no damage at all
