indeed, Ultramaroon. There was no contact prior to the bushing melting. I had more important things to monitor during my track day than EGT. I had 4 or 5 20 minute sessions at Florida International Rally and Motorsports Complex. Each run was 20 minutes apart. I think a majority of the melting happened after parking (4 cool down laps). I didn't hear it banging while I was still on track. I'm still running the stock front pipe, waiting on my ACE unit to come in. The lack of flow past the overpipe could have contributed to this.

Could it be the bushings that came with the Whiteline sway bars being subpar?

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

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?

I had the same thought. Consensus doesn't make us correct but...
