What have you done today with your Austin Seven

[jansens]

What's the general thought around using exhaust wraps? I know some people say not to use them, especially on mild steel exhausts, as supposedly it promotes faster rusting. I suspect on an A7 engine any power gains from hotter exhaust temps are negligible. They can definitely approve the appearance I find, A7 pipes always look so tiny! Is the wrap effective alongside the body where a passenger is likely to brush against the pipe? I guess there it just stops them burning themselves against the hot steel if they do touch it?
