Exhaust wrap works very well to keep the exh pipes on my Turbo from frying the fuel rail and hoses that are within a few inches of the pipes on my WBX. Stays dirty from road spary, but keeps the heat down...Daryl of AA Transaxle ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Rodgers" <inua@CHARTER.NET> To: <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> Sent: Thursday, May 19, 2005 6:43 AM Subject: Exhaust system insulation
