My Rear Diffuser Fins Melted from my AWE Exhaust and How I Fixed it for my C8 Corvette
I didn't think the stock exhaust was so well insulated... but I found out GM actually did a good job. I am not upset however, since I love my AWE exhaust. If you have an aftermarket exhaust and it ends up melting, your rear diffuser, here is an easy fix. If your thinking of getting a rear diffuser and aftermarket exhaust regardless of the brand you may want to do this preemptively.
PS, I still LOOOOOOOOOOOVE my AWE touring Exhaust! It just gets a bit hotter than stock due to less insulation than the OEM exhaust. I can live with that.
Look on ebay for rear Corvette C8 Stingray 20-24 Gloss Blk Add-On Rear One piece diffuser if you want to purchase one.
I have the touring edition and I install...

      @ the black plastic vanity cover only covers the intake manifold, this covers the entire engine bay! There are vents on the rear deck lid that allow the rising heat to escape which you are blocking with this! This is basic 101 performance! The reason those vents are on the rear deck lid is a mid engine car is far more difficult to cool! Thats why there are so many radiators. Take this off your car immediately!

It is designed to keep the heat away from the convertible when it is down, as well as interior of the roof from heat damage as well as the tonneau. While I suspect you have good intentions, you are are incorrect. You might be referring to a plastic manifold cover which is simply for decoration and does absolutely nothing for heat. I painted mine red. It also does not come with the HTC, but can be purchased aftermarket. The vents are there to let heat escape but have nothing to do this this cover.

    Hi Joe, I had the same problem with the same rear diffuser but with Paragon Track exhaust. I only test drove the car to see what would happen and mine didn't melt anywhere near what yours did over time but Heat wrap solved my issue. I wrapped any pipe that was close and I high heat foam sprayed the inside of the fins and covered that with the heat wrap material as well.

    • @JoesGarage-c8corvette

    @thatguy3468 19 дней назад

    Here’s the truth. Think of your engine as a small machine shop. While it’s running the oil is subjected to heat, microscopic metals and carbon from combustion. These particles are traveling through your engine while the engine is running. Your filter does not filter all the oil. All passenger engines have an oil bypass valve located at the filter housing. This bypass valve is important and is the reason most of the oil bypasses the filter. The reason for the bypass is to keep the filter from exploding. If the bypass were not there and enough material ended up in the oil filter, the pressure would eventually cause the filter to explode. Regardless of the type of oil you use, 3000 miles of driving should be when you should do an oil change. If you spend more time at the track beating on the engine, then 2500 miles would be my suggestion. Remember, oil break down is not the issue, the issue is how dirty is the oil.
