I have removed the Cat and put on Reinhart slipons and installed a Screaming Eagle Air cleaner and Screaming Eagle race tuner and even had a factory guy come out to my dealer and Dynotune it (richened it up considerably with little loss of mileage and 10% more HP with 13% more torque). The heat is still there. The removing of the cat helped with the heat by the floorboard where it was located but it did not help with the heat on the right side up by air cleaner. my thigh gets roasted constantly. Anybody got any ideas?
