I been told this about rusting. What I am planning on wraping is the exhaust pipe only, below the stock manifold, I have no headers. I want to wrap just past the fire wall to the h pipe. Trying to reduce the eng compartment heat. Think it will rust that fast? If it lasts a few years we can address the issue again.Ollie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary H." <spigot2039@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <1962to1965mopars@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, July 22, 2009 7:40 PM Subject: Re: Exhaust wrapHeat wrap historically seals moisture or condensation between the header and wrapping = rust.

They rusted so badly that I had to replace them within a year. Just passing on my experience.'65 Coronet 500 stroker -----Original Message-----What is the best kind of wrap?.
