Dear Everyone,
I just wrapped my exhaust with thermo bandage that could withstand up to 1290 degree celcius.
But when i started the engine the first time after the wrap, it the bandages gave some light smoke.... I let them cool down (engine off) and then went for a drive (with fire extinguisher ready).
After the drive (approx 5 mins), they no longer gave out smoke. but they have turn to a light-ish grey colour (when 5 mins ago it was clean white, and i am sure the grey is not dust or dirt).
Is it normal that the bandages do that?? Or does our D's exhaust get over 1290 degree celcius??
Thanks for any help!
