Should exhaust be heat wrapped?

[Metalman]

Had the engine undertray off today and the only heat wrap was on the front downpipe, so is it a good idea to wrap the exhaust from manifolds to back box? Surely it would have been done as standard and mine has just broken up over time? I was just going to get the white fibre glass stuff unless there is something better, it cant be good for oil temps as the exhaust flows round the sump.

Wrap as much as you can !
DEI black wrap is good and it looks better than the white stuff when it gets older.
If you really want to push the boat out try the Titanium wrap !

Yep, found the DEI stuff so will order some and wrap the thing up good! Nice looking stuff too, much better than the white fibre stuff i was going to get so thanks for that Steve.

Considering doing this as well. Does anyone know what length is required to fully wrap a Rousch exhaust and what is the best width to use; how many clamps required etc?
