Morning Javad

Well....Bummer....and it looks so pretty, and the theory is great, but it
seems like the general concensus points to my removing the wrap   :.(

So I will be getting out the snips this weekend.

So here's another question for yall then;

the downpipe - is the O2 sensor housing cast iron or cast stainless? I
thought it was cast stainless as there doesnt seem to be any real
corrosion at the joint to the stainless downpipe as I would have expected
from welding stainless to cast iron.
