Default Heat wrapping manifold?

Does it do more damage than good on a small engine? looking to lower the temps as our summer is fookin hot, will I do damage to engine internals though?

unless your running an aftermarket exhaust then not much point at all i used to use it on my 4-branch manifold and cat, werent much point going any further. i used to manage to get it glowing red hot a few times but with standard one just a waste of time i woulda thought
