After I got home 90 minutes later I discovered that the decals had gotten too hot from the sidepipe heat wafting up in traffic and they slid off the doors onto the mufflers. What a nightmare! As soon as I got home and discovered this I drenched two towels in cold water to quick cool the melted vinyl off the pipes. God what a mess. Mostly all the crap came off with just chipping off the junk with a blunt screwdriver and my nails. What a mess. Do not ever wear your meatballs in heavy traffic while attached to your doors when it's 95 degrees out.

Just remove all the wax first. I was stuck in stop and go in 90 degree heat yesterday. I have a decal just three inches from my header exit and no problems.
