That wasnt cool what u said about my replies. He didnt specify the temperature saying it was steaming hot and so fourth but i do know it gets hot to some degree. I just based it on my own expirience. Next time, dont flame what i post. Either dissagree or say nothing but dont say im giving out false information. Ur right though about the heat sheild. I didnt think of that. Or perhaps he has a hole in his exhaust hitting the sheild.
