My exhaust system is ceramic coated inside and out from head to exit. Then the muffler-side pipes are covered by the SS perforated guards , which get hot to the touch but not as hot as the muffler side pipes. The heat in the SS guards is only temporary and dissipates quickly, but if you were to just try to get out as the car stops and touch them, it would be uncomfortable. But as I'm older and fat with bad joints nothing is sudden. I have been burned a long time ago while still aware of snake bite potential, I still got out of a replica in Texas and got a dandy burn. I'm interested in adding the blankets to my car, for the just in case moment. I was wondering how you went about anchoring the inside car end? You still have to be carful of walking up to car wi9th the engine running and the headers where they come through the body are also verry hot. Eager with sweat pants on it will ruin the pants leg if it touches for any length of time.
