Default Koolsox - does anyone use these?

Are these really needed? Anyone using them? I would wrap these around my fuel lines if anything, they get super hot w/h the maggie spinning for a few hours...

They are a must if you are running headers. I've used them for years. I never thought about wrapping my fuels lines with them. Interesting idea...

I run them, but they have a lot of dirty finger prints on them.

well, I got the idea cuz I'm getting a shipment for industrial use from Koolmat...I can get a large roll of the stuff so it's not nicely finished at the ends, I plan on just tucking it in a bit and clamping everything. I'll report my findings once it's done. If anyone needs any of it, pm me, and I'll see what I have left.

btw, dirty fingers?? no man, the stuff I'm getting is red not the plain light colored type!
