Exhaust conversion from grass burner to stack

[CalG]

I will be wrapping the exhaust pipe from the manifold to just past the hood when the stuff gets here (It is the same stuff hot rodders wrap their headers with to get the heat away from under the hood). I am hoping the new pipe gets here about the same time as the wrap, then I can take it all off and wrap the pipe and install the new stack.
The hard part is done. Fabrication is always a slow process with me.

wrapped pipes rust quickly if not kept dry.

Oh, they are dry. Don't forget the tractor lives in a shed when it is not running. This is also the first 12" after the exhaust manifold, so the pipe gets plenty hot. The stack is not connected to the exhaust pipe at all.The exhaust pipe terminates up in the stack about 2-3". 1.75" exhaust pipe and a 3" stack pipe. The exhaust smoke and stink exit at about the roof line.

The shed is the key element , but in my area, summer humidity would be a BIG factor.

Rust never sleeps!

You are 2 small states from a huge body of water. So ya, humidity is a huge factor for you.
I call it a shed, but in reality it is a Shelter Logic Alpine garage. The door is never shut. You can see part of it in this picture.
