Hi Joel,he has a sard exhaust temp sensor and it is mounted at the end of the downpipe about 3inches from the join to the rest of the exhaust.Same sensor and positioning was used and even though this experiment wasnt done under strick lab conditions we tried to keep the environment as close as possible.
I totally agree with you on the subject of heat and velocity and can cause great variation.We got about a 6deg drop in temps when thermo wrap was used.Mind you this was placed on top of the HPC downpipe.Still it probably works as its used in lots of race applications but I think as a personal choice I will go with thermo wrap from now on.
