[Cracker]

John:

My car runs fine in hot weather and we do see the hot & muggy stuff here in Atlanta as well. I have the same problem with small leaks at the union of the primary & side exhaust. The band clamps would be a good solution - so thanks Karl for the suggestion! Let us know what you do!

I almost forgot you mentioned "under hood temps", my car has only had the ceramic coated pipes so I really can't compare but it still gets really hot. I hadn't noticed until I pulled the engine and removed the side pipes but when I did I saw some glazing of the body/paint on the the bottom edge near the collector. My point is - it still gets hot - so don't expect to much.

Regards,

Tony
