If you wrapped the manifolds, GET IT OFF NOW or you will have a major melt down; /html/healeys/2008-05/msg00524.html (8,968 bytes)

"Wrapping" the down pipes is also a BAD idea (heat protection). The "wraps" retain heat AND moisture. Pre-mature rust-out is SOP<; /html/healeys/2008-05/msg00529.html (7,557 bytes)

It appeared to make things 5-10 degrees cooler but the whirrrrr sound was a bit annoying. The sound was similar to the sound of the early; /html/healeys/2008-05/msg00538.html (7,595 bytes)

Also, the wrap was "sealed" with a special silicone paint, which should help at least some with water resistance. Honestly, the pipes get so hot I don't see how water can persist eno; /html/healeys/2008-05/msg00540.html (8,837 bytes)

That's what causes all the rust. If you have; /html/healeys/2008-05/msg00553.html (8,459 bytes)

I fail to see why exhaust wrap would cause more water in the downpipes after shutdown than no wrap. If anything, the retained heat would boil the water off more completely.
