Default cosworth exhaust downpipe temps

What sort of temperature do they reach....

car has a T34/ .48, siemens 55Lb injectors and a harvey gibbs chip....

I am wondering what temp the downpipe will be just after the turbo where it starts to go down to the floor.

I am running some brake pipes near here in my Mk1 escort....

Cheers
Tim

When I done my mk1 cossie wrapped the down pipe as I had the pipe running over the tunnel in the bay. They do get hot on full chat. You can get wrap for Ł20.

You'd want some form of heatshield on there. It can cause an issue with the wiring around the tiurbo on Sierras etc when the heatshield is missing due to the radiant heat produced.
