Well, I have an EGT (exhaust temp. gauge). I can beat on the car and get the temperatures up to 1300*F, but by the time I roll to a stop, temp. will fall down to 850*F. Let it idle for 30 seconds, and it goes down to 700*F. The EGT sensor is right at the header, so by the time the exhaust goes down to the turbo it will be a lot cooler than that due to the heat exchange in the piping.
I do have customers down in the southern U.S where it does get very hot. It is simply not an issue at all.
I also have one customer who really beats up on the car (build motor as well), autocross, drag, top speed events..ect. Not a single issue, and this is with an already crappy 2004 350z transmission.
With the 350z's I have the filter sit close to the exhaust manifold, and the top part of the filter (rubber) is about 1" away of the header. No signs of heat damage. Air is a very poor heat conductor.
The kit is track proven.
