car runs normally fine, no overheat and temp gauge is normal.........but after a while the e-brake console gets warm. what the hell is goin on, is it the cat right below the car or what? cause its getting to the point where it fogs up my car...lol

 

Your exhaust is right under the console, but unsure why it would get that hot.

 

If you dont have a heat shield you will get alot more heat inside the car.

 

weird huh??maybe its time to get an aftermarket exhaust...its a sign

winters coming. leave it :-) haha

 

yuh that ussually gets warm not hot but warm maybe u have an exhaust leak thats why is gettin really hot

 

This is on EJ/EK, but I think the EG is the same: There's a rubber boot around the shifter underneath the console. That boot is the only thing between the cabin and the exhaust. Sometimes, especially if you've ever pulled/reinstalled the shifter, the boot can either get popped off or torn, which allows even more hot air in from the exhaust.

Take your console off and check the placement/condition of the boot. If you're getting heat in the e-brake area, it's probably leaking air from under the car.

Mine came off when I installed my short shifter, but I didn't find out why the center console was so hot until I took it apart like a year later.
