    Noob question - eta downpipe

    What is the jacket for on the eta (1986) exhaust downpipes? Is it just heat shielding? When we flushed the block, we got coolant inside there and now it's burning off slowly from all the weep holes and seems. Stinks!

    We may also have an exhaust buzz / leak from inside there - I can hear a faint something, and I smelled exhaust on the passenger side while idling at a light.

    Yes it's just shielding. I've actually seen quite a few Eta exhausts leak under this shielding too. You can remove the shielding without any issue.
