Buddy Club Tails Damaged/Melted?
 
So recently I discovered white marks (looks like it melted) on the inside of my Buddy Club Tails on both sides at the same spot, I was wondering if anyone else knows anything about it or has the same mark inside their tails.

Looks like it's rubbing from the inside, not melting.

My left one did the same thing, it's from where the surfaces are touching and vibrating/rubbing. The white stuff is powder created from the abrasion. I have a sub box in the trunk with four 8s, and UEL headers, so those probably aren't helping matters. ;)

It sucks that the plastic and lens clearance is so close.

That makes a lot of sense, I guess my exhaust and Headers don't help, especially on bumpy roads. Thanks guys!
