I'm looking for suggestions on exhaust wrap, i.e. what is the best

good, or is there one to avoid that doesn't work well.

I'll be running a turbo, with a "J" pipe out of the turbo exiting 
out of the bottom of the cowling.  I'm looking for something
to wrap that "J" pipe in.

Thanks in advance,

Not a good idea to use exhaust wrap on a rotary. We have had at least one crash
partially because of exhaust wrap. Having said that I would measure the actual
temp of the exhaust pipe out of the turbo and if it is less than say 1200 F
you might be OK.
