Good point, I didn't even think of it from that perspective. I was thinking more about the wiring loom (ultimately the wires) as it degraded all of them around it.
Based on my small time in the FWD LS4 world that need to happen as soon as you pick of these cars up:

They say to dip it in water before wrapping, but I assume that would burn off pretty quickly. I think it would be fine, as long as all the splash shields are in place and I'm in the south, which helps (no salt).

The trick here, is knowing in advance that the pipe in question is going to rust and fail (its cheap and thin) and needs to be replaced at intervals (like a fuel filter or anything else)... or, alternatively knowing when you have a really thick material (like an OEM manifold turned into turbo deal) that will probably rust but never actually break due the rust because it is so thickly made.
regardless, you want the wrap, the coat, the pigs in the blanket
you figure out how to do it in a way that is manageable to maintain. and you get it done.
