REFLECTOR: Thermal exhaust Wrap

[Dave Philipsen]

I have a Lycoming with armpit scoops and I used the thermal wrap on my 
pipes.  I also did a lot of work on the baffling so I can't say whether 
the wrap did much.  I was able to reduce my CHTs by around 40-50 degrees 
and after the engine has been running you can grab the exhaust pipe with 
your hand and it won't burn you.
