One thing I don't know if ever has been addressed. Many years back wrapping the exhaust with asbestos tape to cut down on heat also seemed to cause the exhaust system to rust and wear out quicker than if nothing was used.
Admittedly this was simple steel exhaust pipe but wondering if the same issue persists?


One of the techs at FlowMaster that I talked to said that wrap is bad because of heat buildup / cooldown cycling. Said it can cause them to crack after time.

Also said moisture / rust was NOT an issue.

If he WAS right, I can't imagine that OBX - being pretty heavy-duty Stainless hardware, is susceptible, as is lower $ stuff.

Don't know either way, for certain here.........
