Yeah,
plenty of posts on NASIOC about EGT temps/melting metal. Just saying 'X" EGT temp will melt your "Y" metal block/exhaust/anything isn't that simple. Sorry, I don't check the boards that much anymore. Suffice to say that those of us that track our cars have seen EGT temps high enough to melt metal, but haven't. Granted, if the exhaust gas could raise the temp of the metal to a consistent (not temporary) sustained temperature, it could be a different story. Make sense?

Sure,
Not telling you anything you don't know, but the purpose of the EGT is not to alert you that your metal is about to melt, but that your charge/mixture is about to start dieseling or pre-igniting.

well pure alum melts at 1236 F to be exact but everything is an alloy so worry not about melting your anything, plus like said before no one has a alum exhaust stock is mild steel, most aftermarket are stainless T304 2795F melting point in it's pure steel form.
