Just one comment one wrapping exhaust - under power the exhaust
temperature is of the order of 1400 degrees F and with insulation the
pipes get much hotter. Most metals, including most stainless steels,
cannot cope with this in contiuous use and in time will crack or oxidize
away. That is why header manufacturers will not warranty and recommend
against wrapping headers.
