Manifold wrap-up

on the hereunder shown website...

...I was reading that...

"The exhaust manifold can also be lagged with thermal cloth or tape to keep the exhaust gases hotter (and thus reduce back pressure) and also to keep the underbonnet (and hence intake and fuel) temperatures lower. "

Does anyone know if this is worth the hassle? Besides, what is this cloth called and how expensive is it?

If you have a cat fitted don't do it, it will melt the cat.

The cloth is fibreglass, about £40 for a kit here. Its a MARE to fit and you really need to take the manifold off the car. Also wear gloves as it will chew your hands to bits and your gf might object to you playing with her tits with messed up hands.

On non-cat cars it works really well.
