1988 Scirocco 16v downpipe

I've recently bought a used downpipe for my Scirocco 16v however prior to
installing it I was wondering if anyone had any tips on cleaning, coating or
even heat wrapping it before I put it on. Since these items cost over an arm
and a leg at your local VW dealer I'd really like to prep it as best I can
to increase it's life expectancy. The flex pipe is in fairly good condition
so I don't think it'll be and issue.

Thanx in advance,
Norbert

do not heat wrap it, that will only shorten its life.
