#2: Re: hot exhaust Author: Dabamash, Location: The car in frontPosted: Tue Jul 03, 2012 4:37 pm ---- It's an exhaust. If it's not hot, there's something wrong
#3: Re: hot exhaust Author: ollie-fitch, Location: essexPosted: Tue Jul 03, 2012 4:50 pm ---- just aint sure if its meant to be red hot all the way through to the chrome tail pipe on the back box
#4: Re: hot exhaust Author: Dabamash, Location: The car in frontPosted: Tue Jul 03, 2012 4:56 pm ---- Is it actually glowing?
New exhausts have to burn in generally.
#5: Re: hot exhaust Author: marc206, Location: Bourne, LincsPosted: Tue Jul 03, 2012 4:59 pm ---- probably just because it's new
#6: Re: hot exhaust Author: ollie-fitch, Location: essexPosted: Tue Jul 03, 2012 5:00 pm ---- not glowing just to hot to touch expect it at the cat not at the back box
#7: Re: hot exhaust Author: Seabook, Posted: Tue Jul 03, 2012 5:02 pm ---- it suppose to be hot, that's why somebody has melt their bumper before
#8: Re: hot exhaust Author: Dabamash, Location: The car in frontPosted: Tue Jul 03, 2012 5:05 pm ---- Yeah, the back box is supposed to be hot. As Seabook says, it can melt bumpers.
Don't worry about it

That was my thinking may be it's just the coating/baffles inside burning in, I can't say I've ever tried to touch my ss tip when I've bin for a drive as common sense sort of tells you it may be hot lol.
In fact I've know people that have burnt/melted the edges round the exhaust before so maybe they do get quite hot.

#12: Re: hot exhaust Author: LiamGTi180, Location: OxfordPosted: Tue Jul 03, 2012 11:41 pm ---- I have a Janspeed on mine and when it's raining you can hear the hissing as water falls onto the tail pipes lol.

#14: Re: hot exhaust Author: kandlbarrett, Location: SwindonPosted: Wed Jul 04, 2012 5:17 pm ---- I think meady may be stretching the truth - to see steel glowing, even in darkness, it would need to be at 400°C. If the tail pipe was at 400°C doubt if the bumper survived more than a few seconds.
To be visibly glowing in daylight (depending just how over cast or bright a day it was) it would need to be between 525 and 580°C = 1000°F
Tail pipes do get hot but that hot?
However, a diesel car fitted with DPF doing a regen can reach 600°C in the DPF! Don't park on dry grass or over a painted garage floor and do a forced regen! Nor on your tarmac drive for that matter.
