Hot pipe on 2T...

[xxBLAZExx]

I just installed a new FMF gold SST on my KX and it seems to get hot real fast. Like two or three WOT rips back and forth on a straight about 100 yards and it is TOASTY! :yikes:
The pipe I took off is a PC works with a R304 shorty silencer.I dont rember it getting so hot so fast. I havent got a SST silencer yet so I have the PC on it,could this be causing it? If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great :cool: ....maybe a link to reasons why a pipe might be getting too hot.
(oh and I am running a BR8ES NGK plug not the recomended plug :boss: but it only made the bike run better with the PC pipe.)
Thanks

The exhaust gases are in the 1100+ degree range, of course the pipe is hot.

Yeah I know the pipe WILL get hot but it is doing it alot faster than my other pipe. I was just wondering if it is normal to be blistering hot after 45sec of WOT.( I guess i am to worried about burning a hole in my piston due to what I have heard about the SST pipes.)
Thanks Rich!!! :worship:

If you are concerned about the jetting then you should check the plug for signs of excessive heat or lean out not the pipe. ;)

Ok will do. :cool:
Thanks again!

the pipe is most likely thinner than the pc pipe, causing it to get hotter faster

just curious, but how do you know that your pipe is hotter? what are you basing that determination on?
