REFLECTOR: Exhaust systems

[Scott Derrick]

This sounds very odd.  I think av gas in a near optimal 
mixture(Stociometric?) burns at 1500+ F. It doesn't matter whether its 
in your Honda Civic, your lawn mower or aircraft engine.

Maybe its the placement of the EGT probe.  The absolute temp is really 
of not much concern because where you stick the probe in and how the 
exhaust flows in the pipe will effect the probe temperature quite bit. 
Its the trend that is of prime importance.
