How to prevent exhaust pipe burns on a Mercedes-Benz G63?
2 Answers
It is necessary to inspect and repair the exhaust pipe to identify the specific cause and resolve it to prevent burns. The areas of the legs that have been burned should be promptly disinfected. Iodophor or diluted saline solution can be used for cleaning, and irritation should be avoided. Maintaining leg hygiene is essential, and the burns will naturally heal over time. The temperature of the exhaust pipe on a household small car ranges between 30 to 120 degrees Celsius. Below are some related details: 1. Detail one: Some modified cars can shoot flames from their exhaust pipes, with the outlet temperature reaching several hundred degrees. 2. Detail two: Under normal circumstances, the outlet temperature of the exhaust pipe varies depending on the car model, the length of the exhaust pipe, and the number of mufflers. 3. Detail three: The longer the exhaust pipe, the lower the outlet temperature at the tail. Additionally, higher engine speeds result in higher exhaust temperatures. When the vehicle is idling, the outlet temperature is only around 30 to 50 degrees Celsius.
After driving the Mercedes G63 for so many years, I've noticed its exhaust pipes get extremely hot, especially after acceleration or right after parking. To prevent burns, I recommend installing an exhaust pipe cover, preferably made of stainless steel or aluminum alloy, which can be found on Taobao ranging from tens to hundreds of RMB. It wraps around the hot pipe, reducing surface temperature. Parking habits are also crucial—it's best to park away from sidewalks or children's play areas, and avoid approaching the car immediately after turning off the engine. When kids are around, I always teach them not to touch the rear of the car. I also keep an infrared thermometer handy to occasionally check the temperature. Combining these small actions with protective gear has kept things trouble-free. During routine maintenance, I also check the exhaust pipes for rust or looseness—early detection means early resolution. Overall, it's a minimal investment with reliable results.
