   heat wrap would help reduce heat transfer to other parts of the engine bay

   when i put my 4-2-1 on my vts it hit the oil filter..didnt think much of it till it bust a pinhole in it on the m25 at 3 in the morning..had to take it back off and bend the manifold where it hit the filter. have it wrapped now and its a good job
