Re: Ceramic tape on TR6 exhaust

Yup, the ceramic tape allows less heat to *escape* from the area that
it covers, which means that more heat will radiate from the muffler and
tailpipe. It also means that the internal temperature of the wrapped
area will be higher.

Apparently the smart move with wrapping headers is to leave the welds
unwrapped; they're already high stress areas and the extra heat soak is
hard on them. Or so I've heard.
