[QUOTE="MEIRONMAN207, post: 1460395, member: 34659"] Good points...I thought about similar concerns, however such as a/c systems for homes and commercial units I have noticed that their lines(in these copper)have insulation. I also thought about condensation trapping water. Hopefully since it’s not a completely sealed insulation and not held on tightly to the pipe, there might be a little wiggle room for evaporation and water to be drawn out with the heat from the engine bay. And lastly, I also had concerns about as a fire hazard. My addition is riding on top of the wheel well and away from the engine except near the fire wall that is close to the valve cover. But keep in mind that where Ford insulated the same pipe is near the radiator and timing chain cover front right engine bank. Lastly, this is an inexpensive trial anyway. So if I keep it on, the only other additional protection I was going to add was to wrap it with heat protection as I was going to add anyway to wiring for additional protection from heat of my “future” LT headers. Btw, if you notice on my pics, when I replaced my spark plugs and wires, etc., I already added boot heat shields. [/QUOTE]
