Hot exhaust
Ok please forgive my kinda stupid question. I just put on my apexi gt spec exhaust a few weeks ago. I havent driven the car but about 10 miles if that. Today i took it around the block a few times and when i got out i touched the muffler to see how warm it was. I heard rotories run hotter than most cars. my muffler was REALLY hot. Is that normal/ thanks

A non-turbo rotary engine usually runs an EGT around 1650-1700F. Don't touch the exhaust system when it is hot! Also, be careful not to park over flammable things like leaves or tall dried grass.
