See that right there is very debatable. Its really going to depend on the application. I know more than one person on here swears the tubing will rust out in 6 months but I have yet to see anything that would suggest that on something thats wrapped and not subjected to massive amounts of water. The hotside on our setup was wrapped before we got it and when we took the wrapping off to re-wrap it the piping looked bran new, only some slight surface rust at the welds. Ive seen countless headers wrapped and on ones that see alot of moisture or very short run times they do form rust quicker. for applications in a dry environment they should last just as long as not wrapping them. The wrap does breath so its not like your sealing the piping up... |
