I just considered doing some wrap on both of my Ions... at least the header/manifold and downpipe which would be better shielded from water by a belly pan... I also imagine that by keeping the heat inside the pipe I could cover at least my mid pipe with a coroplast belly pan without fear of melting(currently it’s open but my mid pan is trashed and could use replacing and solid would be easier to cut and install)

The header and downpipe on my Redline are heavy duty stainless so I imagine they’d take more heat related abuse...

I was also considering at least a better cast manifold (stock one from Redline/Cobalt SS)for my base model, and a better downpipe with bungs for wideband and EGT... wrapping was a consideration
