The benefits are it keeps the engine bay temps down and its better on high performance cars like turbos as the gasses are kept hotter so can expel faster.

Ive got some for when i get my manifold. Keeping the temp down in the engine bay is worth doing imo.

under most circumstances, i really hate the appearance of exhaust heat wrap- especially when it begins to fray.
i can tolerate black heat wrap and/or if it serves a genuine, functional purpose.
