I haven't seen HHO lowering temperatures anywhere?

The consesus seems to be that HHO speeds up flame front allowing for a leaner burn (thus hotter) without detonation.

But does that mean the engine will run cooler with no mixture changes?

I've seen on a few forums people who've tried HHO reporting a different exhaust note while HHO is being added (one guy even posted that his exhaust had changed note, and on inspection found that the HHO generator had broken).
A common theory is that combustion is finished earlier before the exhaust values open... could that allow more heat to be scavanged on the exhaust stroke?
