However, I have measured my cat at 560°F, and I'm sure it gets much hotter than that.
Well, what I meant, is that after looking at AndrewJs bellypan, I noticed that he even had the Coroplast touching the exaust pipe ( header ) at the front of the car.
It looked like MetroMPG had the front exaust touching as well in the pictures, but as I look closer, it seems that he may have done the area around the exaust pipe in something other than Coroplast.

O.K. back on topic. ( the boat tail )
