exhaust wrap
#1
#3
There are 2 main types of exhaust wrap, fiberglass and pumice. The fiberglass is soaked in water before application, the pumice is not soaked (the fiberglass is also itchy).
I wrapped my entire exhaust/muffler with the fiberglass type wrap. I did this mainly to reduce sound as mine is not a performance model. I then wrapped the exhaust wrap with rubber/silicone fusion tape that was supposed to be good to 500° F. The fusion tape melted off of the exhaust part of the assembly, the wrap has stayed on fine.
The wrap drys out quickly when it does get wet. I did paint the exhaust with heat paint before wrapping. I haven't seen any signs of rusting yet, but it may be too soon to tell.
It did substantially quieten the previous tinny sounding exhaust noise, which was my goal. I can't really say about the performance aspect. I did leave my shielding on, even with the wrap the exhaust heat is very apparent.
