True Classic
Today I removed very frayed and brittle heat shielding tape from my header and exhaust. I don't know what asbestos looks like but it was very powdery and brittle (I wore a mask). I replaced the old tape with new modern tape.
The question is: what other mods have any of you made to reduce heat at the back end of the car? The sheet metal gets very hot above the muffler and I would think long term unshielded heat cannot be good for the paint or metal. And yes, there is a school of thought (that I don't attend) that pupping tape on the headers is not a good thing.
