Exhaust heat problem!


Recommended Posts

I started my shee up and let her idle for about 5 minutes as usual, and when I felt my pipes to see if they were warm enough, the left side was a lot hotter than the right side. And theres more confusion, because I dont think it's the actual exhaust pipe, but the part that comes RIGHT off the engine. I think its the manifold or header, thats what someone told me. So thats what I'm talking about, the left header (or whatever) is too hot to keep my hand on for more than 1 second, and the right side I can touch for about 3 seconds. I run FMF gold series pipes. I dont know if this is even a problem, just thought it was odd. What do you think?

 

 

PS- DAMN I SOUND LIKE SUCH A N00B IDIOT!

Don't go by temp..go by exhaust pressure..start it up and put your hands by the muffler so you can feel the exhaust as it exits..if one side puts out more pressure then the other..then you have a problem
