Hey High Noon,

Thanks for your feedback. I agree with you that the headers are too hot for the Kevlar wrap. As I mentioned in my original post, even with a new set of wraps, I am not confident in their sustainability.

So you think it's best to keep our pipes unwrapped? I do worry about someone accidentally touching them and getting injured....mainly children who wouldn't know any better.

If I do decide to leave them unwrapped, can anyone recommend a really good metal polish? The pipes, with only 385 miles, are already deeply corroded and i would like to try to keep them looking as good as possible.
