I just added a racing exhaust and just noticed this square around it... Why's it there? I tried adding the pic from my iPhone, but it said invalid file.

It's on my GT-R '07.
 
It's a heat shield. It was discussed on here before somewhere so this thread will probably be closed soon.
 
Oh ok, so it's not a glitch? They actually have that in real life?
 
Well, if it is a heat chield its a terrible one.

Yes it has been discussed before, but theres no official word, and if it is a heat shield Im dissapoint in PD.
 
Simple reason why the exhaust has changed place. Its a free flowing design with less bend possible. If you could look under the car, you'll see that it is nearly strait front to back, that why its on the rear bumper.
Its pretty common to see that in real life too.

that a race car made BY Nissan, so PD just based its choice probably over that car, thye Nissan GTR RC
 
It is a heat shield.
 
That white GTR looks is nice! Badass with those black wheel.
 
Tis a heat shield, sir!
 
It's widely defended as bieng a heat shield, however I find it hard to believe because most professional heat shields are not sheet metal squares tacked on up and over the body like the ones in GT...

That kind of heat shield is usually found on DIY forums made by people who can't afford or don't want to pay for professional heat shields.

What I am used to seeing in the world of heat shields are usually much more polished and fit with the look of the vehicle.
