Downpipe heat shield question
The stock downpipe on my 97 has the heat shield on it... when I finally replace it, do you guys know of any pro's or con's on wrapping or shielding the downpipe for reasons other than keeping the heat out of the cab?

Looked at that earlier/which prompted my question...
I quess that I don't understand the reason for wanting to retain heat in the downpipe/turbo when EGT's are such a concern. Don't mean to be ignorant, just need the education!
On edit: I understand the reason for temp on the inlet side of the turbo to be low as possible. Why would wrapping the exhaust side decrease the lag?
Thanks
