Hot..hehe. Seriously it kind of depends on how hard you drive. I don't know any numbers though. Driving habits can affect the temperature to my knowledge.

i have a dragIII manifold how hot does that baby get....?? thanks
They get really hot. Even if you don't drive it hard they still get to a point where they will burn you really bad.

I have to admit I'm alittle bit concerned as to why you need to know this?!?!
ohh and if you don't know yes it will be much more than 300deg.
please tell me this has nothing to do with JB weld or the like

Try sticking your tongue on it after some hard driving...
Let me know how it feels okay?

I'm kidding.. don't do that.. it would melt your tongue off.

Re: how hot do turbo manifolds get? (Snafu-Si)
Due to physics and "Leidenfrost effect" I'd stick my tongue on any turbo manifold.
I've already dipped my hand into molten lead to prove it.
I've also held Dry Ice in my mouth for over 45 minutes.

At or above the Leidenfrost point, however, the bottom layer of the droplet vaporises almost immediately on contact, effectively creating a cushion of vapour that repels the rest of the droplet from the surface. The droplet does not make contact with the surface, and thus no heat can be transferred directly from the surface.
At such high temperatures, one might expect that the vapour layer would quickly transfer enough heat to the rest of the droplet to vaporise it. Water vapour, however, is a very poor conductor of heat at these temperatures. Hence, the vapour layer actually acts as an insulator.

I'll bet you fifty bucks that if you stick your tounge to the turbo mani your tounge would get burnt to hell. Maybe if you just did it really quick you wouldnt be burned really bad..... Hey if you want to try it, goahead. Just make sure to video tape it so I can laugh my *** off!!

Re: how hot do turbo manifolds get? (ridnmyhonda)
I sprayed my manifold with my ceramic header paint that I use on all my cars. The first day of driving it around I cooked most the paint off. That is supposed to be good up to 1500. Hope that helps.

and i remember the concept Mista Bone is talking about from way back when in high school physics. i still wouldn't put any part of my body near my exhaust mani, though.
