You cant light a cigarette on the header so it isnt that hot. Im geussing somewhere in the 300-350F range. There's thermal images of a savage somewhere around here if you're interested in knowing the temp for sure but like i said, 1000 is more than sufficient.

Holds your exhaust system together when it rusts into eight pieces! Grin

JK! It absorbs heat insulating the internal temperature of the exhaust pipe allowing the gasses to remain hotter and evacuating with less resistance. Mainly used in Pro Stock and Top Fuel when they are running freakin' rocket fuel!!!

But in the right application, it looks cool as hell! That's the only reason I would use it. Well... THAT and maybe if my exhaust was rusted into eight pieces! Cool
