Melted Bushings

I had to end a track day early last weekend because my 22mm Whiteline swaybar passenger side bushing melted due to its proximity to my ACE A350 ceramic coated header overpipe. It wasn't just a little melted either. The top half of it is completely gone. Has anyone else come across this and found a solution? The steering linkage is also very close and shows where it may be hitting in extreme instances. Just wrap it? Any advice?

Pictures? Have never heard of this issue on our platform yet. Surprised the stock ones aren't melting on other people's cars

The whole area near the overpipe is very cramped. I haven't seen what it's like with the ACE header. Can you take a photo? You may be able to put some heat shielding near the bush.

err your exhaust is touching...? how is that a surprise.....

see if you can move the exhaust upword a bit, i had this problem with my header when i just installed it, i end up sorta pushing it up while installing the whole thing again.

Cuz my overpipe was rattling my car under acceleration. *such a given

Does any other header get that close to the sway bar to touch or is it just the Ace?

what are your exhaust gas temperatures?

this is partly why I'm considering leaving my overpipe stock with its headshields.

I thought ceramic coating was supposed to help deal with heat issues... damn OP! that looks horrible.

If there is contact, due vibration at that point coating gets damaged anyway, so how can it protect? +with contact there is much more heat conducted then via heat radiation, if there had been even though small but gap with air.
Problem with that little space to work with is how to get long enough runners for most efficient exhaust gas scavenging. Nameless tucked excess in front of engine, Ace - using overpipe part. No clue, which approach is better, but from this case it seems that it's always worth double check any clearance issues one may have, not just when vibrations between parts can be heard.

You guys are mixing up the sequence of events. The sway bar came into contact with the overpipe after the bushing melted.

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.
