Will exhaust wrapping reduce under bonnet temperatures and does wrapping make the stainless headers split(Iread that somewhere)

Will exhaust wrapping reduce under bonnet temperatures and does wrapping make the stainless headers split(Iread that somewhere) Exhaust wrapping will have a minimal effect on the engine temperature but does reduce the temp of the headers so lessens the chance/severity of burns. To improve the gas flow from the exhaust you will need a freer flowing system such as Krazy Horse, MMC AR, Garage 56 etc or a "baffleectomey". I've not heard of any M3W headers splitting after being wrapped.

I have had wrapped head pipes for the last 3000 miles and the pipes are fine. It has nothing to do with temps under the bonnet. I is marginal help in keeping exhaust flowing from the heads.

My factory wrap lasted 2 years, the stuff I used to replace it has lasted 4 years and still looks great!
