Thanks Mr. U2SLOW for your thoughts on the turbo and manifold blanketing. I'll first see how the DE diamond 4" exhaust system installs and also how the engine responds. Regards, Brian

On stationary/marine engines its common (required) to wrap exhaust for fire protection and keeping engine rooms cooler. I have no desire for that kind of itchy/messy crap on my truck.

Keeping the heat in may spool the turbo a tiny bit quicker, and reduce under-hood temps a little bit.
