[Healeys] Hot Healeys

i have wrapped the down pipes from the bottom of the header flange to
the front of the muffler in both my BJ8 and my E type FHC. rust  has
not been a problem but most of my drives are longer.
does the ceramic coating keep the heat in? what happens when that long
pipe from the exhaust flange to the muffler flexes?
