I would guess between 500 and 700. At around 1000+ it would glow some I think. If you want to wait till next week I'll tell you what mine gets after regular riding.

I have repainted mine with high heat black and it has worked out fine.

I know the bends out fo the head, on the header are just shy of 800 degrees(with jetcoat)....

So, the muffler should be in the 500-700 range...
