Downpipe Exhaust Wrap?

I'm about to install a Miltek catless downpipe on my F55. Have any of you guys used exhaust wrap on these downpipes? Do you guys wrap the flexible section of the downpipe as well?

Go to Swain Coatings and get the White Lightening Ceramic Coating....Best of the Best!!! It will be worth the wait...and doesn't cost that much. https://swaintech.com/race-coatings/...aust-coatings/

That looks awesome. I'll probably do this instead of the wrap. Do you mind me asking how much it costs?

It was just over $110 or so including shipping...it is a 3 step process and WORKS. They actually did my entire RX7 Rotary 12A Engine back in the 90's. Just give them a call and they will give ya a timeline.

Wow, that's much cheaper than I thought it would be.

I'm also a former rotor head! I had an FD back in the early 2000s. Man, I miss that car.

Swaintech White Lightning is THE exhaust coating to get. They quoted me ~$125 to coat a 4-cylinder header. Compared to other ceramic coatings, its a billion times better, and much more affordable.
