Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications General Mods SCA&SMA CAI v BAT Pipe

I know alot of people say the SCA/SMA CAI get killed by heat soak, which I have learned. Yet wouldn't the BAT Pipe also get killed by heat soak?? Isn't the ideal material the rubber accordian tube already or plastic???

Does that heat shielding materail really help against heat soak? Or does it slow it down??
