Exhaust heat while towing!

[PBNB]

Has anyone noticed how much heat is coming out the tailpipe and melting the front of the trailer! 

 

I was hooking up yesterday to leave the campsite and noticed a ton of heat coming out the tailpipe. 

 

What have you done to lessen the heat? I noticed Banks has a tailpipe that directs the heat out the right hand side but not too sure if that is just snake oil or something worth considering.

You can install tailpipes that direct the exhaust sideways vs the OEM one that goes straight back. There are several on the market, do you own research. HOWEVER, you need to make sure the Venturi vents are still intact, otherwise it will throw a engine code. There is a sensor somewhere that detects back pressure on the exhaust. And if it doesn't collect the correct metrics, it will throw the truck into limp mode.
