There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Wrapping or coating reduces the external temperature of the exhaust system (the part that is treated). I believe the reduction can be as much as 200 degrees. So anything in the vicinity of the treated exhaust will be cooler.

The air in the engine compartment will be cooler and incoming air will be more effective in getting rid of heat buildup.

It is not Nirvana, by any means, but if done correctly, it does make a good deal of difference.
