Wrapping exhaust
Just want to find out whether its worth wrapping the whole exhaust right to the back box?
Pros Cons etc.
I mean we try and get the cold air in, why not try and expel the hot gases quicker????

this isn't true.yes it helps to wrap the headers and down pipe in relation to heat soak but it also keeps the heat inside the exhaust which speeds up the gases and lets them flow quicker.the quicker the gases cool the slower they move.

I have wrapped headers up pipe and down pipe already.
A jacket is on my turbo as well.
I will wrap the whole exhaust then.
Want to squeeze as much as possible out of TD04 h

There is no point wrapping the exhaust after the downpipe, particularly if you already have an adequate diameter exhaust.
I did wrap a complete exhaust once but that was to cut down noise, which it did not do, so I wasted two or three rolls of exhaust wrap for no gain.
Looking under your bonnet it will be possible to identify items of far higher priority for attention long before you think about wrapping the whole exhaust.
