You cant wrap the cummins exhaust manifold, but you can JetHot it.
I Applied the Jet hot coating to a T4 turbine housing and while doing some welding on the flange it was bolted to, I could pick up and carry and move the turbine housing around as long as I was touching the ceramic, if I touched bare metal nope too hot, there is a big difference in heat transfer between coated and bare metal.
