I have muffler eliminators,

the left side gets warm/hot you can touch it and its not to bad.

The right pass side, Gets real hot !!! I mean i think my bumper is going to melt (it wont) but it gets so hot, a lot hotter then the other side.

The tailpipes on the B&B Triflow catback system on my '94 will fry human flesh almost instantly after the car's been running for a while...

Be well,
