I've got the car apart at the moment, but I was wondering about something while pulling the exhaust apart. I've had EGT probes on the header pipes before, but never further downstream. I'm curious what temp the exhaust gas is after it's gotten to the mufflers. I would think that at WOT and high RPM, the exhaust is running down the pipes so quickly that it doesn't have time to cool too much. Is this correct?
The reason I'm asking is I'd like to find a larger volume muffler to fit in the rear of the car, but if I can't find one, I thought I'd modify a muffler by welding a larger plenum volume to it. Another option would be to weld up a separate volume to temporarily store the pulses as they slam into the muffler restriction.
It would be nice to make this separate volume/plenum out of lightweight material, but I'm betting that aluminum might get a bit soft at some of these temperatures. I've also got a spare titanium muffler off my Yamaha, but that stuff is a bit tough to machine.
So, anyone ever measured the EGT at the mufflers?
