I am still working on installing a 2.7 six into my car and I was thinking about wrapping the exhaust to cut down on heat transfer. I have heard that it can't hurt, that it actually keeps the exhaust gases hotter in the pipe.
What do you guys think is it a worthwhile expense or not? |

Remember,....If any engine oil leaks into/or on the exhaust wrap you will have a source for FIRE., I have seen this happen...Jet coat or ceramic coat your exhaust system...remember to allow for the pipe slip on connection on the ends of the pipes , the very last 1-1.5 inches should not be coated.
