Troy and all,

Dyn'Aero tried lagging stainless steel exhaust pipes at the beginning of 
the MCR series, but they quit doing it due to some corrosion problems.
What we have done is install light *radiation* shields a few millimeters 
---From the pipes where needed to prevent carbs or fuel lines from 'seeing' 
the red hot exhausts or turbo. The free space between the exhaust and 
'targets' allows free air passage. I did the same between the 4 into 1 
and the cowling.
The temperature reduction is drastic.
