Houston we have a Problem!

[Tracked Emira]

Emira owners in China had the exact same problem you have with our first generation exhausts like Aerie's design which vendors have updated to avoid heating problem. My setup is the fourth version of Boomgear's exhaust that Ryan had put serious laptime on and exhibit no problem whatsoever. Is it really needed? You never know until you have a problem.

Aerie doesn't make a heat wrapped full exhaust after checking their website. Do they make it custom?

This is the diffuser made by CT carbon that dealer says isn't directing cool air to valve controller as well. But is it relly such a big difference from stock air flow???

Isn't there an air scoop on the bottom of the OEM diffuser that sucks air from under the car and directs it to the valve? Perhaps the aftermarket carbon diffusers do not have this hole?

Will find out, but dealer didn't mention it.

Had to go thru some old pictures to make sure I wasn't remembering things I hadn't seen
These are pictures of my (V6 Manual) diffuser. The area circled in red is a hole in the black plastic, with a metal reinforcement in the inside. IIRC this is in the general area of the valve assembly.

If I remember correctly the controller is shared with another manufacturer but I forgot which, let me ask.

Think I read on here it was the same as a Fiesta ST...???

Looking into this exhaust next. If anyone interested in my GRP titanium exhaust please send me a private message.
Has anyone installed this wrapped exhaust? What do you guys think about this product?

They also have headers and turbo parts.

Their headers are quite expensive but I was told it also won’t give u CEL

I was told it is the same as Porsche Panamera.

Spoke to my body shop & it is not a goog idea to cut the CT carbon fiber. CT should have had a hole made in the diffuser so the valve controller could get direct air to it. It sucks that we are guinea pigs for all these new products.

Why not keep greg’s muffler and then get greg’s cf diffuser? I thought his version had the cutout for ventilation.
