Default answers for questions?

Whats sup guys. I've been on the forum for a while but didn't really post anything so I'll start here. I have a few questions and I'm hoping you guys would have some answers. okay here go.

I went to Morongo last night, 1 hr drive. about 45mins driving, my friend stated that it was getting pretty hot in the rear seat. I only had my fan on. Going at like 80-90mph the whole way. My car is bone stock except for my apexi ws2 exhaust. At first I just thought it was because of my exhaust. Can someone confirm this? Should I be worry?

Also my AC only get cold when I'm driving fast. Any help on this too? I replaced the AC filter already.

Any help would be appreciated (:

Sounds like your condenser fans are not running when they need too. Turn your AC on and on recirculate and let the car idle. Pop the hood and see if the fans come on. If they don't then ether the fans are toast, relay to them, wiring issue to them or a blown fuse. See if your fans are not working the compressed refrigerant in the condenser will not condense and cool down enough at slower speeds hence hotter AC. Once you get moving fast thought enough air moves over the condenser fins that your AC starts to do its job. Hope that helps.
