at the exhaust manifold, cat, and mufflers?...

 

its an impressive amount of heat, but i have no cats so its not THAT hot

 

i was going to install a dynomax ultra flo SS muffler where my cat would be to make my exhaust a little bit quieter, and they are supposed to handle up to 1500 degrees and i was wondering how close would the temp be to that?...

 

well if its packed with SS it should last, if you have doubts, go to racing beat, they are rotary desinged, but so far SS will hold up to the heat

theres the muffler i was going to use as a presilencer, the local muffler shop that does all my work has one so i wont have to order it...

 

no its fiberglass packed......it won't last a month. You have to find one with SS instead of fiberglass

 

I believe I've heard the terms "Dragon's Breath" and "Fires of Hell" applied to rotary exhaust.

Look at some of the EGT threads to get a good idea, but generally, unless it's a part designed for rotary use (or uber-turbo nitrous racing use) it's going to fry quickly.

in other words.....Racing Beat

 

Sound deadening is handled by stainless steel mesh along with continuous roving fiberglass mat that won't blow out (it's heat resistant to 1500°F!). Construction throughout is high chromium content, high luster T-304 stainless steel.

Stainless Steel mesh with the fiberglass...

 

it will deffinetly melt that fiberglass

there was a thread on this yesterday, "how much difference will a presilencer make" search for it

 

i started that thread...

 

well there were various mufflers going around in there why not use one of those...oh and by the way, if you mount it further away from the original cat position you should be fine with that muffler you linked to

 

i was going to put it as close to the Y-pipe i could...

 

you should be ok, and doesn't the muffler shop have a warranty, if they do take the muffler, well either way its your car
