Thread: Muffler Temps?

  1. #1

    Exclamation Muffler Temps?

    I can't seem to find anything about muffler temperatures on Google. Does anyone know what the average temperature of a muffler is? I would like to paint mine with a clear ceramic paint, but it is only rated to 500*F.

    Depends a lot upon several factors.

    how lean does the car run
    headers or not
    cats or not
    outside temps
    etc.

    Thanks for the replies. I guess I won't be using the clear.

    I'm sure there are some good coatings for that kind of thing. Maybe check Eastwood but otherwise ceramic is the only thing I can think of that would be durable enough.
