RE: Heat coming from under dash

I think that with an O/R pipe the heat would be less, the cats wouldn't be there holding all that heat from the exhaust.

RE: Heat coming from under dash

Its normal as I bet many experience it. If it bothers you that much get some dynamat with heat sheilding and pull back the carpet and install in the foot wells. The heat comingblowing in thefootwells is if the vents are set to the feet it will vent heat there even if the car's heat is not on at all (the fan). Happens on all cars that I have had. Extra heat sheilding under the car wont hurt either. Set the vent to the windsheild or the center vents and I am sure you will feel it a little too. Also set the temp to cold and it might help (even if the A/C is not on).

Yeah, you can get a crapload of heat shielding from Summit Racing.

But I kinda like it
