Is it normal for my 5" stainless tailpipe to be very hot after 5 miles of driving. Untouchable hot...Only changes from std MY00 are de-cat centre, green panel filter and the backbox.
Thanks..

My stiV tailpipe is very hot after 5 miles, although i cannot remember whether it was that hot B4 i had a TEK3 remap, it know runs higher EGT which i think is due to the remap

 

Thanks Andy,
Anyone out there with a pretty much std turbo and stainless exhaust that knows...

I have a small scar on my left from touching the exhaust on my car, whilst wearing a pair of shorts, i was getting something heavy out of the boot

The car had been stood for 2 days, a five minute drive, and then above happened.

That was standard turbo, ss back box and decat downpipe. nothing else.

 

So its pretty normal so I take it...
