Come to think of it....this all started when I got my offroad bassani pipe installed. The only difference is no cats. Is it possible that the overheating described in general about piping smog pump air into the back of the heads is taking effect with the reduced backpressure? The headers seem instantly super hot when the car is started since the xpipe install. Since there was no checkvalve, I think exhaust simply used to gush out of the tube before and out the airpump but now there is positive flow of air into the heads. Am I getting anywhere with this line of thinking?
