So I think the exhaust place I went to and cut corners or something. I have a true dual setup and it seems that there is way to much heat coming off the exhaust. I can feel the heat on the floorboards and dash. WTF?

 

Are you sure it from your exhaust and not the sun?

 

The floorboards aren't going to heat up like that from the sun. At 1800. I mean, yeah, I live in El Paso, it's hot, but not sunny at 1800. You can see the guy had a hard time bending it at the end and dinged the piping.

FYI borla XR-1 racing mufflers sound like *** too.

 

do you have the heater on.....


and it's a racing exhaust....shoulda went for an HKS, Injen, or something else then....

 

Never heard of this problem before. i dont think an exhaust can get hot enough so you can feel it through the floor boards.

get a heating tool and check how hot the exhaust gets, it might not be the exhaust but something else causing the problem.

 

.....I don't think radient heat from the exhaust would do that.... now if the exhaust has leaks and the fumes are blowing out onto your floorboard... that might cause the heating issue and would def. make the exhaust sound like "***" as you put it.... Other than that.... keep an eye on your temp gauge etc.... make sure he didn't do something to the cooling system and try to fix it (dont' know why he would've ) but you never know....and make sure the gauge isn't spiking.... GL

 

ever road in a rotary engine car. i hated my rx8 even with ac on full blast you could still sit there and sweat your *** off.

 

No i havent...that actually happens? design flaw ftl

 

rotaries get hot as fawk..... FTL

 

I don't know what it was, had two different shops check out the welds they said it was okay. Anyways, I decided That I wanted an x pipe welded and the mufflers taken off. True dual 2.25 inch piping to an x pipe with no muffler or resonator sounds amazing. You lose a bit of low end toque, but you gain it back up high end.
