thanks.. we like to take the extra steps to make sure everything is done properly and last. The tunnel area get very hot as we all know and the heat wrap is surely needed.

Any reason your wrapped the motors? Is it because you have them behind the cutout opening? I have my motors in front of the opening so I didn't think they would get that hot.

We found this positioning allowed us to keep the cutouts very high. We wrapped the motors due to them being close to the mid-pipe bend and the fact they are behind the outlet.
