The GT6 suffers from the same problem; perhaps more so because the exhaust follows the transmission tunnel back. I'm planning two mods: First is to wrap the exahust manifold in Genibrel Thermopower t

How would adding ceramic tape make the cockpit cooler? By keeping the heat inside the exhaust system up until the point that the exhaust pipes have passed the cockpit. Much of the heat in the cockpit
