Exaust pipe heat shield??

Best I can tell, what im looking at is where the tails go over the rearend. If it was my car the only way to fix it would be to get a sawzall and cut those tailpipes off. You can drive it without them until you can buy the right ones. Or just go ahead and buy the right ones and take it to a muffler shop. Thats dangerous, I'd get a new fuel line and cut those tails off. Soon

best time to put in the $$$ for some SS fuel lines......................no need to worry about exhaust anymore and it is gonna be cheaper then cutting the tails off since they are to close and it will happen again.....................

Man...be careful driving that thing with a patched fuel line. I had a buddy several years ago who had the same problem. Paid $300 to have a custom cat-back exhaust "professionally" installed on his 1993 Teal Cobra with 6K miles. Long story short, the "professionally installed custom exhuast" ended up touching a small portion of the fuel delivery line and burnt a hole right through it. My buddy figured he would temporarily fix the fuel leak by making a clean cut through the damaged fuel line (including the plastic inner tubing) and joining the two ends with a brass barb and a couple of worm drive clamps. He had no idea that the fuel line was under HIGH PRESSURE. You guessed it, a few days later, while cruising down the highway, the hose blew off dumping raw fuel on his hot exhaust which ignited almost immediatly. He was able to get the car pulled into the breakdown lane, but not before extensive fire damage was done to the undercarrige, RR tire & rim, and passanger 1/4 pannel. Lucky for him someone carrying a fire extinguisher stopped to help, otherwise he may not have been so lucky.

Moral of the story: 1. Always carry a fire extinguisher, 2.replace the damaged fuel line hose. Takes 2 seconds (2 clips), but it could save you a boat load of headaches.

i would $hit my self if the ass end of my car was in blaze....not trying to earnheart jr. it..........................

seriously invest in some ss lines. Well worth it in your case.

either way, i wouldnt want the exhaust that close to it

I agree on not patching lines. Might work ok, but not for me.

Where can you get stainless steel line to replace the rubber ones?

Temp solution- you can buy braiding at a parts store and wrap it around the fuel line where its melting. might give it some more protection for now.
