Heat coming from gas pedal!!! HELP! - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Hey guys-
I dunno if I'm going crazy or not... I've recently put in an A'pexi WS exhaust in my 03 camry. I was driving at night yesterday on the freeway for approx. 45 mins. and noticed a heat wave coming from the brake/gas pedal and up into my face. It kinda felt like the heater was on, but it wasn't. I dunno if its bc of the exhaust (doubt it) or what?!?! I took it to the dealership but they said its natural. Note that I was wearing basketball short last night driving, but it HAVE NEVER felt so much heat. Anyone has that problem?!?! please help a poor asian dude out! thanks!

was the vent open?

doubt that the exhause have something to do with it cos it's at the bottom end of the car.

was ac on?

if the vent wasnt open, i dunno what it was. you only did a cat-back so you still rn the stock cat+heatshield.

maybe a rubber plug in the fire wall has come off and heat is leaking in thru there.

heat from the engine usually comes through my vents from the engine i'm guessing even if i don't have A/C on. it's weird. dunno what it is.

that sounded noobish on my end but.....MMmm i guess i wasn't thinking

i usually never have that button on unless the air stinks outside.

maybe vent is stuck on heat position inside the console somwhere...that would be a bitch! I had a similar situation in my 91 Turbo. had to pull the climate control section out. just needed some lithium grease to unstick the linkage works .... just my 2 psi
