Default No more side pipe burns

Not long finished making these side pipes and it seems I have had reasonable success with them not getting hot enough to burn.
They are made from stainless to the same dimensions as the Robnell pipes.. Internals have a cat at the front with a magnaflow muffler all welded together to form the working part of the pipe. The machined ends are added, slip over a 5" sleeve with Kevlar in between to stop the transfer of heat and there you have it.
Seems to work well. I can hold my hand on the pipe whilst driving and when stopped it's no problem but does heat soak after a while due to the heat retension of the stainless but not enough to burn, only gives you a scare.
