Default Heat wrapping

While the down pipe is off I thought I might heat wrap it.

Is it actually worth it?

Also Is it worth or even possible to wrap 4x4 exhaust mani?

Yeah that looks good Steve,

What kit did you get? My only downer is that I don't know if my exhaust is a good one as the sow pipe splits I to two pipes rather than straight through.
