not really. in eastern NC, the humidity stays in the 60 to 80% range and as teh exhaust cools...

... th emoisture will condensate on the wrap, soak in, and be held agains the exhaust. As I stated before, the silicone treatment will allow mointure to seep as the wrap ages and moves around.

A good ceramic coating (inside and out on teh ehaust mani and outside of the down pipe will move this heat away from theturbo and increase the thermal efficiency.

Best regards,
