Common hand-held water sprayer

Instead, use a common household water spray bottle to spray water mist onto the pipe.
A properly combusting cylinder will cause the water mist to instantly sizzle and evaporate.
An improperly combusting cylinder may be merely warm and the water mist will bead and run down the pipe.
Or in a pinch, you may just spit on the pipe, or use another body fluid.
Re-read the first sentence. Or bone up on treatment of burns.
Good Luck!

I have ran back to retrieve the back half of my exhaust from the highway, grabbing it with a bare hand, and getting my fingers toasted. :ohmy:
Had to ride the rest of the way to Niagra Falls (and back home) with one burnt hand (right) and open headers.
A mist bottle is a great idea.
