hey quick question: i just put on an axel back muffler today and after taking it for a quick drive around the block (about 1.5 miles) i felt the muffler and it was very hot. is this normal or should i be concerned?

 

wow you got a major problem at hand...take it off as soon as possible, your buring up your exhuast, and your gonna ruin it.

exhausts get hot. your ok

 

did u get a header too, if u did and it turns out hot then u got some issues with ur motor. jfwy, dood, its all right, very normal.

 

change your muffler bearing

 

If you smell something burning then worry.

 

Sounds like a bad muffler cooling system...that can be expensive

















Just playing...as everyone else said, its totally normal. Exhausts heat up really fast. If you think your muffler got hot, you should have touched your head pipe...that thing heats up in about 20 seconds.

 

might be the vtech

 

damn this kid got it hard...haha..

 

To prevent you from being humilated any more, I'm going to close this thread.

You engine produces heat... and hot gas byproduct, which flows through your exaust system. Hot air around metal, = hot metal. Engine heat, transfered through metal contacts = hot metal.
