Luminous, you can't use the heat tape on Hedmans, it voids their very good warranty (explicitly pointed out in their paperwork).

The tape wouldn't help much anyways. The exhaust only gets too hot on those VERY hot summer days and nights. Avoid that environment and they are okay. On days and nights like that, I know that if I drive anywhere, I'll be there for 30-45 minutes minimum before cranking her up again.
