Has any one took a temperature gun and tried to see what the exhaust temperature is on the pipe where your leg is by it ? I tried to do it on both of my vrods but I think the chrome will not let it read accurate I get different reading each time other stuff the temperature gun works fine on just though it would be interesting to see how hot the pipe got.

Yes, shiny things won't work well with those guns. As for the exhaust and running EGT gauges on aircraft, depending on rpms the temps can range from 1000-1400
