Question on wrapping,
If I get catted downpipes, do I wrap cat as well?
For your guys who posted pictures here, how is wrap holding up year later?

Thanks

Absolutely!  They get extremely hot. I posted two pics.  First one are my PPE's wrapped, second is after about a 1000k miles and you can see the black wrap is turning white because of the heat.

That's why I am asking about cats themselves, I know cats do get very very hot, tape holding up its one thing, I would like to see some feedback after year of use,
Second question is can them become too hot inside and maybe fry CO2 sensors of even brake down from overheating?

Anyone with year or move of use can chime in?

and also what heat tape did you use, I know some better than others...


Thank you all
