I just finished helping a buddy wrap his headers for his turbocharged  Chevy
350 he is building for his boat. He gave me the leftover 20 some feet  of 2"
X 1/8" webbing insulation wrap and some ties. I understand how the  hotter
the exhaust, the faster it will flow, thus allowing the turbo to  spin up
faster. I also understand that the pipes do not last as long. (Am I  right?)

My question is: Is it really worth the effort for me to wrap my  exhaust on
my 63 Spyder?  I plan to remove the crossover and up pipe  to wrap them.

 1  you are in Socal... so YES   wrap the pipes.. but  no need to remove..
 
 
Cloth BREATHS!!  why they use it now...
 
 Clarks sold... so I've been told......  the foil covered  wrap... it didn't 
breathe..and let the pipe get so hot it oxidized  quickly...
 
 I've been running the cloth wrap for over 2 years...   no  problems and YES  
it will spool up much quicker!
