REFLECTOR: Thermal exhaust Wrap

[Alex Balic]

A similar experience led me to wrap my pipes as well- didn't grab
fortunately, but got me pretty good- you know that pipe didn't "look"
hot...... :) really, I was more worried about proximity to fuel lines, pumps
and wiring- I have a turbo, so the exhaust runs up between the firewall and
the engine- just warm to the touch now.....

thats a really good thing. Right after the first engine run on my 
engine, I was peering into the hose jungle trying to see where an oil 
leak was coming from and yep, grabbed the exhaust stack right where I 
had been hanging onto it for 6 months, yow!!!  3 weeks later I'm still 
peeling...
