Hi all,

I only use my Classic once, maybe twice a week now. The headers are wrapped & the wrap seems to be collecting moisture as when I use the car I get a cloud of steam for the first few mins (quite a worry 1st time ! ) until they dry.

I have checked & it is the wrapping.

I don't really want the wetness to corrode the flexi in the joining pipe - so my question is should I remove it for the winter ?

Cheers,

 

Mine has stayed on the car for a couple of winters and no problems - no different to the damp just sitting on the exhaust I suppose

 

I read a few stories about them causing rust issues so I didn't wrap mine when I had the chance. I'm no expert tho.

 

i wraped mine last year and all the salt water from the gritters made mine fall to bits. Back on standard headers for now.

 

Take it off, you dont need it.

 

Cheers for the replies chaps

I'm guessing then it's ok to run without heat shields & wrap ?
