Just looking for a roundabout temperature. It can be in Celcius, F, Kelvin, etc. And if anyone has greater information, what is the air temperature within 2" from the outer side of the pipe?

 

A header pipe or the I-Pipe part, I would say headers get around 1200*, as far as the I-pipe no clue. Touch it, and maybe you can take a guess, .

 

I don't know the temps, but I bet one of those "point and shoot" style thermometers would work great to find out. Also, I don't know how much they cost. So, that's about all I know (or don't).

 

I think they're a couple hundred, but most only go up to 600* I think.

 

Nevermind then. Now that I think about it though, the high temp spray paints have temperature ratings 400 or 500 degrees F on the normal ones and up to over a thousand on the ones with ceramic whatever in them. Ok, what about this? A Fluke meter with thermocouple? Expensive too.

 

all you need to do the temp mesuremnt is 2 Thermo couples,some ice water, and a dvm, if you dont mind doing the voltage output -> temp yourself

 

you could probably get away w/ using j types too...

 

id have to say real f***ing hot. i hitmy buddies tailpipe the other day changing his plate and now i have a hickey on my ear. its not bad but it wasnt a pleasent experience.

 

Thanks for the tip. I'll use one of those point and shoot laser thermometers. Have one at work
