Think how much heat dissipates within 1-inch of ambient air? Hundreds of degrees. Now you got something that keeps all that heat in with no place to dissipate, now the temperatures are not dissipating at all, your keeping that heat in. Basically almost the temperatures of combustion, as it has not dissipated any heat. Metal weakens at high temperatures so it would all depend on how good your metal was.keeping the heat in the pipe is what you want. higher exhaust temps = higher exhaust velocity. Im surprised you didnt know that, being a turbo guy.
