[QUOTE="Izso, post: 1064564248, member: 2429"] Sigh. Are we on this topic again? Heat melting plastic inside the engine bay? Nah. 10 years of owning the Wira, changed fan motor twice only and only because the carbon thinned out and the other time the motor jammed up. The OEM fan plastic material is incredibly tough. Piping is thinner perhaps. But what is wrong with that? It's prone to cracking only if exposed to extreme hot/cold temperatures. Like those with vented hoods that vent directly at the extractor. Driving hard and hot then suddenly it rains. Super hot metal pipes suddenly cooled by rain water - THEN it'll be likely to crack. Having said that, there are some poor quality pipings/extractors that have poor welds or poor quality steel. Those might wear off faster than others. I used white steel from Everco and I replaced the entire system. No heat shield and no wrap. I didn't want to wrap because my entire exhaust was welded together without any flanges so to remove the exhaust was a lot of effort. And there are generally two types of exhaust wraps - fiberglass (white coloured) and titanium cloth wraps. I had a titanium cloth wrap which was very easy to work with since it doesn't disturb the hand. Fiberglass is a bitch to work with - you need gloves and don't let it touch the skin at all otherwise it'll be itch galore. That's very cheap. very very very very cheap [/QUOTE]
