What happens here

Paul discusses the aesthetics and materials of the exhaust system, noting that while some headers are polished stainless steel, others receive a ceramic coating. He mentions the tedious nature of polishing the headers but acknowledges the beautiful result. He then points out specialized cloth-based tape, similar to hockey tape, used in the wiring, and unique electrical connectors from the 1960s, further emphasizing the period-correct construction.

Goal: Showcase the exhaust options and unique wiring components used in the GT40 builds.
