One of the points of exhaust wrap is to keep EGT higher
so that there is a higher temp differential as the
gas exits the tube... this is supposed to translate
into increased HP... some small amount per deg.
However, if you didn't plate your exhaust, it will corrode.
I was advised NOT to wrap my ex

True... thats when you want a parachute. Don't know

stop to buy a hot dog, pancake breakfas

Vance posted that the FOAM coax has 25% less loss.
Coax loss is specified in dB per 100 feet. We are not

is 50% of the power lost).
