greatmana, no offense meant to you,sorry if i 'had' implied so through my words, but lets clarify the technical facts- again i stand to be corrected if am wrong.
AFAIK, catcon has to deal with conversion of CO,Hydrocarbons and nitro compound(NO gases). These , even unburnt in engine , will be in gaseous state and don't burn as such(not ignitable).CatCon uses some chemical reactions to convert them to harmless compounds . So, there are no 'burning' particles leaving from engine into catcon; actually there will be no particles in exhaust you see- only hot,very hot gases. Well, that heat itself gets transfered by convection to components around catcon.May be thats what i felt as heat around handbrake hinge.
btw, brother are you a pc/console gaming freak- 'mana' in your name suggests it. Mana means that magic potion you drink to regain stamina to cast spells.
