Since an engine is basically a big air pump, the faster you can move the air, the faster the engine goes, (up to a point). The idea behind exhaust wrap, is to heat the exhaust so that the density of the exhaust decreases. The lower the density, the faster lower temp intake gases will flow towards it. It's like wind at the beach. The hotter the land mass, the faster the wind will blow cooler air on shore. Problem is, the hotter exhaust gas, means a hotter pipe, which means a hotter head and cylinder, which means you've gone backwards in the cooling department. JC
