Don,
I see you are looking at insulation wrap. This never looks good but
it is cheap!.. May I suggest you take the pipe out and get it
ceramic coated? I got both exhaust manifolds and secondaries done
inside and out (double on inside) for my MGB GT V8 at a cost of
Cnd$360 ... But that was a lot of tubing so you may be in the $30-50
area! The difference was staggering - my engine bay temp plummeted
and the outside temp of the exhaust was much much lower. Also
wrapping can cause rusting if you have steel pipes
