the exhaust out of my muffler tip is very hot cant hold my hand near it and it whistles when reved up

any thoughts

i can say is check the coolant and all your fluids into the engine and then add some coolant additive stuff i had the same problem and the whistle is an exhaust leak possibly near the cat between the muffler

Uhh news flash. Exhaust gas temps are hot.

On a hard run on the track after some laps I'm pushing about 1400 Degrees... before the turbo.

im aware exhaust gases are hot but this seems to be hotter than normal

i also noticed when i open my hood its extreamly hot under the hood and yes im aware that there is an engine in there that generates heat but like i said ive never seen any car where the heat is this high

both my fans work coolant is good etc

is this normal for a 95-98 eclipse because this is the first car i came accross like this

do you have a header or is it the stock manifold? are the heat shields still there?

Who deleted my post?

whats your gauge show? normal temp?? and the whistle could be from either a leak or your cat is clogged seems to happen on the non-turbos a bit.

Rob I've been having the same problem lately I have no idea whats going on.

Stock cast manifold likes to over heat. Either get a tubular mani or port that biiacht

stock everything heat sheilds in place i may port exhaust manifold and exhaust ports on head and check on the cat do i buy a new one or clean this one out

buy a high flow or bore yours out.

which cat do you recomend?and where can i get one?

magnaflow, most exhaust shops can order them, or you can get it online. mine was $100

i want one that will bolt right do you have a 95-98 420a if so what site sells yours and whats the name of it

u dont bolt on exhaust pieces u weld them on so you will have to take it to an exhaust shop. all cats are universal and the shop that sponsors me ordered mine so i dont know what model it is.

if you do get your head worked on make sure you port intake and exhaust, not just one.

yea you want them to match.

whos to say the restriction is the same on intake and exhaust ??????

also why did you say you dont bolt on exhaust peices i just went out and checked my cat and it indeed bolts into the system i beleive they call it a collector flange

a collector flange is a piece that welds to a collector. normally 4 smaller pipes into one larger pipe on a V8. there are bolt on exhaust pieces but those really shouldn't be pieced together with stock pieces. the gaskets will probably leak.

no one said anything about restriction on the intake or exhaust side of the head but in EFI applications, especially turbocharged applications, the exhaust side should have more restriction than the intake side

there are bolt on exhaust pieces but those really shouldn't be pieced together with stock pieces. the gaskets will probably leak

why do you say that
