Default Guys with true duals... does your car seem hot?

My AC works. Might not be the coldest, but it works. Either way, my car seems MF hot as hell. I can be in friends cars with out their AC on, and feel fine. But when Im in my car, with the AC on. It still seems MF hot. Any one else experience this?

Dont remember, but I use to drive with windows down 95% of the time. I cant say it was hot, but the fumes kicked my ***.

what about your heat shields? when i put my headers on i had to take some of mine off so i feel a lot of heat in my floorboard, and i don't have duals. i just have macs/ORY/SLP dual. but like duffster said, check the charge, could be part of the issue.

just drove my jeep from lubbock to down here in houston/tomball (i have true duals) and after the 6th hour is started getting hot inside, even with the windows down I couldn't get the heat out the cab. with everyday driving it doesn't do it though

do you have catalytic converters?

I can feel the heat radiating from the floor when I sit in traffic. When I am cruising I do not notice it getting hot. And the fumes kick my *** as well.
