Well, here are the issues with the OTT muffler systems and headers in
general.
Its pretty well know that they are "Bellows burners" as even with a little
clearance between the muffler and bellows  there is NO heat shield like the
stock mufflers have so the heat is exposed right to the bellows.

Thanks for the info. This would help explain why it is getting so hot in the engine compartment post-shutoff, and hence the vaporization in the pump/lines. I love the clearance of this exhaust after years of dragging glass packs in and out of driveways, so I think I'm going to have to live with the hard-start-when-hot syndrome.
