the heat it has after a ten minute run is quite high though, 375+ on average, but exhaust gases are 1000F or more comming out of the engine so the pipe is going to get hot. dont touch it! the seams from production are starting to leak and the front of the pipe developed a small hole, fixxed with some JB weld. i had to cut the melted body back from it too. after running this pipe for over a year now i would have to recommend this companies pipes as a choice when looking for a performance pipe. plus carbon fiber looks awesome in the sun!
That sounds goo...wait 375F?!!!!
