considering the other guy with the nameless delete said his bumper was totally fine after repeated testing, I think you're good to go.

If some people are experiencing lateral shifting of the pipe, just get some stronger exhaust hangars. I know Nameless recommends them when they sell their parts to avoid some of these fitment issues.

Did not know there were stiffer exhaust hangers available. Since they are available, this should solve any issues with any muffler delete kit.

I have the berk muffler delete, I installed it while the car was hot, the stock exhaust at the muffler flange was hot enough to be painful, and I work with hot metal and have a decently high threshold for heat/pain.

the Berk piece is 304ss and turns the familiar brown/purple rather quickly (170miles) with spirited driving, not dissimilar from the stock piping at the muffler that was just starting to lose it's paint in flakes after 3200 miles (hard ones)

there is quite a large amount of heat in the exhaust of this car, far more than I have seen in previous vehicles, but it also isn't something I make a point of datalogging...

under car airflow, is it worse without the muffler? most likely yes,

is it trapping heat? decidedly not, but there is definitely less surface area for it to dissipate through, and less mass for a heatsink

limiting the radiating heat with a tip with some air flow around it isn't a bad idea.

keep in-mind that the stock muffler TIP is about the same diameter, not the piping, and you have all the exhaust heat on one side now... If it is a large concern just go baller status and put gold reflective foil around the cut out in the bumper to reflect the heat...or go getto and wrap just the tip in header wrap

Man that is that exact product I want to get for my car. Did you notice any power increase with that? Is the car super loud and annoying to drive? I'd love to throw that and a k&n filter on the car and call it good. I've just been looking all over for reviews of the product and if you could provide me any information that would be so helpful!

There is no HP to be gained here, it is for weight reduction more than anything with the added benefit of being able to hear the car just enough for matching RPM's on Down shift

i called up nameless and had two of these added to my order! http://shop.namelessperformance.com/exhaust-bushings/

Hmm...might look to upgrade the hangers for autocross.
Cheap insurance.

Sorry to bump an old-ish thread, but I noticed that no one commented on the paint. BBQ paint is designed to radiate heat outwards. You would put this on a radiator or intercooler, NOT on exhaust!

For that, you want header paint. Rust-o-leum and VHT make good products that are made to withstand up to 1500-2000 F. I painted up/down pipes with this stuff and it worked great. Or, as stated above, just wrap the tip (that's what she said). Personally, I like the gold foil on the bumper idea!

Also, for those in the San Diego area, Kartboy also makes nice polyurethane exhaust hangers (standard and XL). He's in Mirimar and also owns a BRZ, so he's making more bits for us.

Might as well chime in here in case anyone is scared to do a muffler delete...I installed the Berk delete pipe w/tip recently and have had ZERO heat related issues. I feel around the area after hard drives, feels fine.

Also reporting in. Had a muffler shop fabricate something similar. I put about 400miles on it on one day, including some runs at Deals Gap/ Tail of the Dragon. I checked the rear bumper each time and had no issues with it getting hot.

Nice! Look into getting a #20 torch, everything is smaller and lighter. Also run an #8 cup and turn your gas flow to close to 30cfh when you do stainless steel or steels. It'll produce better gas coverage and more pretty colors that people love.
