Still odd. Lots of A350s out there by now. Staying tuned.

Wow that is melted for sure. I've never heard of this happening before though. Could it be the bushings that came with the Whiteline sway bars being subpar?

I think someone on here had issues with aftermarket poly engine mounts.
One of the comments on that post went along the lines of: The aftermarket poly mounts couldn't handle the heat, but the stock ones would have been fine because they are designed for durability so could handle higher temps. Not sure if that helps? |

It also looks as though part of the axle bushing is melted too, though.

Shit, that looks like the inner tie rod cover.

Would using some type of exhaust wrap help in this situation?

yeah, the inner tie rod cover it busted too. Hopefully my ACE front pipe will be here soon and my exhaust will be able to move heat away from that bushing a little faster. I'll probably heat wrap that portion as well for extra safety.

Changing my take on this issue. I don't know how but that area must have gotten exceptionally hot. Maybe an exhaust leak? More pics from different angles if possible?

I'm pretty sure I'd have heard an exhaust leak, my car is still pretty quiet with the stock front pipe-muffler. Header/Overpipe are also ceramic coated inside and out btw. I'm leaving town for a few weeks, but I'll investigate further when I get back. Going to try wrapping the overpipe and install new bushing. The tie rod cover looks more like it split than melted from what I recall seeing.

My first mod exhaust wise was a catless over/front pipe combo, then headers. No problems with heat that started melting stuff.
