Ended up with a hole in the driver side Air Lift Airbag (in two different air bags) due to radiant heat from the Pypes exhaust pipe being so close to the spring and bag. The passenger side was stretched and deformed (like it was being heated) and looked like it was ready to pop too. I did not have heat shields.
This weekend, I replaced both bags AND installed the heat shields that come with the kit. Once the car was lowered, it looks like the passenger heat shield will help on that side.
But on the driver side, it's the big curved bend of the exhaust that ends up closest to the spring and bag where it becomes nearly impossible to put a shield on the curve.
Has anyone dealt with this? Should I get some exhaust wrap and wrap that area? It is very tight in that area between the exhaust and the spring.
Thanks for any suggestions.
