I was just wondering because my exhaust manifolds were so warped that if placed on a glass surface you could fit two 25cent coins on both the front and rear cylinder part of the flange. Just knocked down the middle two with an angle grinder and put it back together.
I’m not sure what we’re looking at here, but 250F is what I heat my engine parts up to when doing bearing work.

255° no. Rapid cooling will though.
Do you have an exhaust leak now after a few heat cycles? If no, if it's my truck I'm running it. If it i hear an exhaust leak I'll turn up the radio.
