Once you see the pipes it will be clear.

Mostly site redesign. Linear view aka Audizine view sucks IMO. They finally brought out a threaded view here similar to orginal AW look (KAWF). That is the only reason I am still here. There is another two B5 S4 sites still running KAWF where most of the old guard AW B5 S4's are.

I tried to have people discuss this a while ago when people were ceramic coating the bipipes and noone shared any input. This is good. I tend to agree that anything that is near the front of the car and is exposed to the air rushing over due to the speed of the car is better left unwrapped because one would assume that even 30MPH of ambient air will outweigh the heat radiating from engine parts downstream. I've never tested it though, so I may be wrong. I've never seen a definitive answer either way from anyone else either.

Hmm, ok you guys convinced me. Also, I bet the wrap would fall apart pretty quickly with the constant exposure to water and so on.

That and it wouldn't get heat like exhaust pipes to dry out.
