Long term covering of exhaust manifold pipe

Posted by Dave in CT on December 17, 2004 at 08:36:58 from (204.60.63.28):

I didn't have any proper covering for the 2" pipe that sticks out of the exhaust manifold (between the manifold and the muffler) so I used the cut off bottom of one of those plastic drink bottles. They come in many shapes - used for gatorade, designer water, etc. - but this one had about a 2.25" - 2.5" diameter. Anyhow, I'd pulled the muffler off and wanted to cover up the pipe so I stuck this plastic bottle bottom on the pipe before the exhaust pipe had cooled down all the way. The plastic shrank up to nicely seal the pipe. I had to cut it off with screwdriver. So, by accident, I arrived at this inexpensive, long-term exhaust pipe cover method.
