Something like that. My exhaust has always been hot, in fact it was so hot it turned my kakimoto titanium exhaust from blue tips to all blue.

It turns out I'd done a little more than a gasket this time. I'd cracked my dump pipe, we think because there was no flex at all in my exhaust system anywhere (AVO dump pipe, custom 3 inch overpipe and high flow catted font pipe finished off with amuse R1 titan 70mm catback). So we're adding a flex joint in front of the high flow and then I'll track it again and see if that makes a difference.
Just noticed that the new AVO 3inch front/overpipe/dump pipe has a flex joint in it already so maybe I'm not the only one who's had issues.
