Overheating of the coolant? Nope, the exhaust wouldn't affect that at all.

Let's just hope the straight pipes are either track only use, or a brief experiment.

Yes it will. You will be having "heat" on you over and over. That is about the heat you will get. Not much gain, if any and it won't affect the coolant until the "heat" turns up the disco lights and you sit idling in summer then it might overheat.

Could we not make crazy replies to someone who is asking an honest question and doesn't have an in-depth understanding of how drivetrains work? All you're doing is making the OP more confused. I have some idea of how all this works and even I don't know what you're talking about. I mean, I do, but c'mon...

What is overheating in your opinion? Have you checked the usual suspects, clogged up radiator inlet with a shopping bag or some leaves. These cars are vacuum cleaners. Also when are your fans coming on?

Heat: cops, fuzz, pigs, copper, Johnny Law, etc aka police.

The small town heat will need to have a ticket to make qouta and loud exhaust is good as any

Easy enough?
