    Hey guys the exhaust is discoloring the chrome bumper on my 2017 5.7L FFV with 21k miles. Anybody else experience this? Normal or a sign of an issue? Soap/water, claybar, and wax won't remove it. I fear that it will eventually rust. It's only on passenger side above exhaust.

    Cool!! I was worried it might be a sign of engine issues but I see no signs of a cam tower leak.

    Just a thought Chad. You could make a cut @ the transition of your tail pipe and go with a aftermarket tip that will carry you out a little farther. That should eliminate the discoloration and you'll have a badass exhaust tip. Just my .02:cool:
