Decat pipe and wrapping it?
Is it worth wrapping the Decat pipe with that exhaust heat wrap?

No! You want heat dissipation not retention! If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!!

Could that extra heat also cause the manifold to crack with severe temperature change? Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧

Yes wrapping will reduce heat that gets into the cab. However I have heard that stainless is prone to cracking when hot. Also ditch the centre muffler for a straight pipe. Very Happy Thumbs Up
