Exhaust

[QUOTE=Second Time;3677001]Not happy about surface rust on exhaust peeking out from under rear. Cover with Stainless color heat paint?
Its hard to believe but rustoleum bbq paint... comes in black, white and silver, sold at home depot, drys super fast, and doesnt fume or stink when hot. I have painted entire exhaust systems including headers with this stuff... it works.

I did the same thing and so far, so good. I kept it black to keep it stealth.

Sorry, yes that was me. Didn't realize you were the same guy. Just wanted to let you know that I had a new one if you were interested. I understand from Jake that they are on backorder from Flat6 at the moment.

IMO the best way to go is to have exhaust cleaned/polished to your liking followed by a high temp clear coating. I have heard claims of clear ceramic thermal barrier coatings to retain heat in the exhaust which your engine will love, but have not tried yet.

Generally anything close to the exhaust, you'd want to retain heat for better exhaust scavenging characteristics and velocity. Hence the reason why a lot of hardcore racer guys heat wrap their headers. On front engine car, the mufflers don't make a big difference because they are located further downstream where the heat has cooled off but on rear engined Porsches where the muffler is very close to the exhaust manifold, there might be some difference there.

Less heat disapation from the exhaust keeps the engine cooler & the exhaust gases hotter for faster flow.
