Hey guys after a LONG struggle today i finally got my stock exhaust off and swap it with the Greddy Ti C exhaust.
It took a while... but it was nice once it was all done... this is my first time ever changing my exhaust by myself.
Well anyways, i got everything on and did a test drive WITH the silencer and thought it was a bit too quiet, so at night i decided to taake the silence off and see how the sound goes.

Apperantly now i think is too loud... but ha im not gonna put the silencer back on im too lazy it took a LONG time just to unscrew it and yank that dam silencer off...
So now the question is
And i did a test drive and notice my exhaust is extremely HOT!! Is that normal....? Will the heat be hot enough and melt my bumper...?
Also is it normal to feel like vibrations inside the car while ur driving?

An internal combustion engine's exhaust should be cool to the touch while it is running. You should be able to caress the mufflers & pipes with sensitive parts of your body without getting burned. In the case that you do get burned, it usually means that the muffler's thermostat is defective/malfunctioning. They're not expensive, but I'm sure Greddy would be happy to ship some out to you if you give their customer service # a call and explain the issue.

I hope you are not serious about this because if you are you are an idiot. A muffler do not have a thermostat to be defective or malfunction. The exhaust gas that is being release from the engine is not cold air. It is hot air. Have you ever put your hand near the tip of your exhaust and notice that is warm not cold.

The exhaust is suppose to be hot and your bumper should be fine. It depends on what kind of vibration you are talking about, it can be that you did not mount the exhaust correctly and its hitting under your car.

Wow what a dewshbag. I wish I could know that much about cars. Lol. Dude as long as your muffler doesn't touch The plastic then you're fine.

Thanks for the replies peepz
I decided to slap that silencer back on lol
I thought it was way too loud and i was afraid i will get a ticket for being too loud lol
And now that with the silencer the sound is so much better, without it sounded like one of those ricecooker on a civic....
and i also noticed with the silencer the car pulls a bit harder when i step on the gas o.O

It was obviously a joke, albeit a bad one. I tend to think I'm hilarious when I don't get my sleep (had to go into the office b/t 11pm-2am on a Sat night and couldn't wind down). In actuality, I do not condone anyone to "caress the mufflers & pipes with sensitive parts of your body" to test if they are hot.

I think we all know that engines create tiny controlled explosions which propel our vehicles... and a couple side effects of this are heat and gases (hot gases!). So I thought it was funny there was an "URGENT" thread where the OP was concerned about a hot exhaust... So I created the best realistic bs reply I could think of.

You guys are all C-blocks! It would have been funny as hell if this noob put his ballz on the muffler! Come on play along for a little.
