If it's really that hot- I would agree that it could be a partially clogged cat. My friend's Accord had a plugged cat and the whole damn thing would glow red.

Yea, mine is metal and it gets hot too...seems to really be affected (even when driving) by how hot it is outside, but I just ignore it. It's never so hot that I can't touch it. Although, if it's parked in the sun it can get close, lol...

But if you want the aftermarket style, take a look into Delrin knobs, they dont get scalding hot.

This for sure. I have a Buddy Club delrin knob and it's great. Doesn't get hot at all even sitting in the sun, and they're super comfortable for holding/shifting and all that. Much better feeling on the hand than my stock leather one.. And I loved my leather one.

wow no one actually went after the ops actuall question.. since he has a test pipe and isnt a cat issue... Is your shifter ouching anything? you sure that the shifter is getting hot from the exhaust? You could wrap it but I dont think its going to help..

shit, a hot knob should make you shift faster :D, but just grab a small kids wristband, and put it around the knob, i have a type R knob and in the summer i just throw a TMNT wrist band on it and its all good lol
