  • Heat through firewall.

    I was wondering if anyone can feel heat radiating through the fire wall when they drive? seems like my car has quite a bit coming through.

            It sucks, I don't need to use my heater during the cold months most of the time. Either the fire wall isn't insulated or 3.4's run really hot.

              Well I'd like to add that with the cab forward design of our wounderfull cars the engine is pretty much tucked 1/2 under the dash, so you feet are right are next to hot spots...

              J/K - :rolleyes: just put a bag of ice on your floor board... :D

              Off this topic... question for 4thgenowner & Camaro15 ??
              How do you like your legacy amp...? I was thinking of getting one and I really like the controller that can be mounted under the dash to turn it off and on...any ifo would help...thanks

                I feel it too. it's probly comming from the headers. just get your headers ceramic coated and then put exhaust wrap over them. the engine as well as your lower extremities will enjoy the lower temps.

                  well from a 3.8 guy I "sorta" had that problem. By my feet I'd feel massive amounts of heat but what I found out later was that my A/C controls were set all the way to the right to heat. Even w/o anything turned on there was hot air coming from underneath. Turn it over to cold and it was gone. :D

                      Yes, I love it. I find the subs hit harder when the bass boost isn't hooked up. Also with the hatchback design of your car they hit harder if you face them down towards the floor. They do for me anyways.

                            i like it, it pounds good, i have my subs facing up and never tried facing them to the floor but maybe i will have to try that, the only thing i didn't like is the other day when i was driving around and it was on for like maybe 1 hour it shut off cause it has it that it shuts off when it gets too hot and it was only like 78 out i think, but 15 minutes later i tried it again and it worked fine, other than that i love it.
