I've worked with lexan in an industrial setting. The exhaust won't get hot enough to melt the lexan, but it might be enough to start to discolor and bubble it. It should take air temps to 250 degrees F without a problem. I say go for it, and if it starts to bubble and discolor, then you know it's too hot...

CC, have you considered wraping the pipe with the pipe wrap racers use?

Hey Craig,
Post some pix of that cover!
I don't think that I thanked you properly for the help that you gave me with my cart.
Sorry about that--But thanks!!! without your help,I could not have finished (Like She will ever be finished) my cart!
I owe you a frosty malt beverage, orange whip or something!
