if i remember correctly, i can tap the tailpipe with my finger... it's pretty hot. Then again it's not exactly stock ... it's a 3" straight-through homemade turbo back exhaust with a midpipe and an XR-1 (yeah, the suckers loud!

it takes off an average of about 2 layer of skin hehe

Nah, I have never been brave enuf to grab the exhaust with my bare hand after running it for 20 min expect for my dp and 1/2 of my mid pipe with is wrapped with about 8 layers of thermotec wrap, after a hard run, I can grab the dp and its just a little warm to the touch.

depending on which part of the exhaust, i'd say the dp, mp are about 1000-1500F while the catback is under 1000.

Spoolin is right on about how hot it is. After running my car one day the turbo timer kept the car on. I walked about a foot behind the exhaust and all the hair on my legs litterally melted, shriveled up and as soon as I touched it fell off. That is extremely hot in my book.
