i just installed a JB SYE this weekend, and after each drive i feel the tail cone, and it's pretty warm, not hot enough that's gonna burn me but warm, also the muffler is right next to it so it's putting off some heat , i've pulled the fill plug and stuck my finger in the T/C and it's just a little warm, is there anything to worry about or is this normal?


thanks, just didn't want to damage anything.:beer:

Just "warm" should be fine... It's going to generate a little heat regardless. If water hisses when it gets dripped on, I'd be worried, but if you can still stand to touch it, it will probably be fine.

Should be fine. There are bearings in there along with an internal pump. Hopefully the hose that attatches to the pump is still intact. It is what lubricates the bearings on the output cone. Moving parts generate friction that generates heat. If you could touch it I wouldn't worry.
