Thanks everybody for the replies. .

It sounds like the wrap does work but would require extra attention for
inspection of cracks. Does it stick to the pipes? Can I remove it
every annual or every other annual to inspect the exhaust pipes?

I have heard about ceramic coating the pipes. Can this be done after
they have been used for a few hundred hours? Also once they are coated,
does the ceramic interfere when repairing them, ie..welding a crack?

thanks,

Scott

AS sells an insulating tape for exhaust pipes. The theory that it will

into the engine compartment.

Since I have an updraft cooling system this would be very nice in the
summer since my exhaust pipes are below the cylinders.

Anybody use this stuff? Does it work? Does it last?

Any tips for installing it?
