Either that's not a Raptor, or he's running a single-exit muffler.

It's a Raptor so he's running 1 pipe (c'mon you recognize the underside of a Raptor, right?).
He posted 2 pics and each pic has 1 pipe in it. So he must have 2 pipes
That's right. Thanks for handling this Dan.

Yep. Single in/Single out SpinTech muffler. Had local exhaust shop fab up the rest.
Spintech 9000?

The exhaust temps coming out at that location aren't going to be all that hot. You can likely hold your hand right at the output and feel the exhaust gasses so I'm guessing real feel is about 100* after it exits the pipe? That's just a wild guess, but too much hotter and you would definitely burn yourself so it can't be that hot.
Also, when you're driving, the air movement will further cool the area around the exhaust outlet. Tires obviously can withstand some heat with no issues, but I don't think you're even warming the tire any more than you would on a really hot day driving down the highway.

GotExhaust, do y'all happen to sell just piping. I have my magnapack dumped before the axle and I think I would like to move it a little further back to behind the axle, to quiet it down inside the cab a little.

We do. You just looking for a length of 3" stainless tubing? Unless you're buying in bulk, it would probably be cheaper to buy something like that locally to be honest. But feel free to send us a PM any time you want a quote.

So far the spare looks fine after a week of in-town driving and a couple if 30 minute trips on the highway. I guess it's fine unless the 110 degree summer heat makes any difference.
