Default Dual Exhaust

Hey i'm new here. I have an 03 Dodge Neon SE and i just recently put on dual exhaust. The muffler tips are touching the plastic of my original bumper, and i don't want to ruin the bumper in case i have to sell. So i was wandering whether or not the tips will melt the plastic on the back of my car. Thanks for your help!

if the tips touch the bumper the plastic will start melting, because of the heat of the exhaust fumes heats the exhaust tips and then melting the plastic on the bumper

i know it happened to me
