Oh I was told that was the fastest/best way of telling if you are over heating.
I was told not to use the water temp, as a means of monitoring whether you are running to hot. The exhaust temp gauge would be installed right in the exhaust header not the exhaust pipe.drill and tap the header. Yes I would agree it would be too late if it was installed after the cat.
What do you recommend Boltazar?

Mother Nature educates all of us that are teachable. She's hardest on the ones who refuse to learn. Punishment is automatic, immediate, and without pity.
