Hi Doug,
I had my pipes wrapped for 6 years, and there was no problems (metal deterioration/rotting/rust/etc.) with them when I removed the wrapping last year and had them ceramic coated. I removed the wrapping on account of all the horror stories about gas leaks and the wrapping acting as a sponge, and then fires. It never happened to me but if it could happen,?????? I had the pipes ceramic coated and in my opinion it's better then the wrapping. You can now almost touch them soon after shutting the engine down as the silver (was advised that the silver cooled faster the black coating) ceramic coating seems to have a faster heat reduction.
However, I must say " the wrapped pipes looked more "Senor Lloyd Bridges El Mui Macho"!
