I think we've discussed tape wrapping the exhaust when trying to fix the oil temperature problems some of us living in hotter areas were seeing. This was also caused from radiated heat from the exhaust affecting the cooling capabilities of the oil cooler sitting way too close to the muffler.
I believe the conclusion was that moving the oil cooler away was the solution as wrapping the exhaust would just kill the stainless steel because of not allowing the exhaust to get rid of the heat.
