Re: Heater Hose, SU question, exhaust, and more

"Hot spot" award definitely goes hands down to the catalytic converter. Horrible
"placing" of this item but, they really had
no other place to put it.

Put this together with "uncoated" headers,
and your overheating problem in traffic
(most especially in warmish weather) is
perfectly understandable. Hell, even with
stock exhaust manifold, I'd doubt you'd
notice any difference in this respect under
similiar circumstances.
