Haven't seen it myself but my V8 expert tells me that they can glow in the
dark. I recently fitted new tubulars and painted them with a
high-temperature silver paint to try to cut down the radiation which was
blistering the paint on the inner wings. Both coating and inner wings seem
to be holding up.

Subject: Exhaust Temp
> Hello all,
> Does anyone have a reasonable estimation of the temperature the exhaust
reaches on their V8s? I am particularly interested in temp near collector,
and the temp at any other place in the exhaust pipe. As many of you know my
headers are going out the fenders and through the rockers and now that they
are built I am investgating how much heat sheilding I will need, and if any
special paint will be needed on the rockers to keep from burning off.
