Mine just held water in it and rotted the mild steel manifolds i first had.
Then i got a stainless one and they all cracked.
Now i have an Inconel manifold and it's not wrapped.

Standard advice on Fisher Fury builds was not to wrap the manifolds. The silencer ran through the sills, which were (mostly) fibreglass. If you wrapped the manifolds it just shunted the heat into the silencer and set fire to the car. More than one Fury met a combustible end that way.

I did the very best I could (bartape experience came in handy) so I hope it's not going to go up in flames but the smoking did die down after a bit and once I took it out for a blast there was almost no more when I got back.
