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

i wrap it like they say to do it 1/4 overlap. unfortionly i cant till you the gains because i replace the manifold at the same time what i can confirm is that its quieter in side the aircraft much less heat under the cowl cht lower allso mac n1055a
