• WARNING: The use of "Thermal Wrap" materials will

void the warranty on your Tubular Exhaust System. Those products can cause excessive heat and moisture buildup resulting in corrosion of the system. If additional thermal isolation is desired, use the Edelbrock Pro-Tech coated TES #7983.

• NOTE: The paint used on non-coated T.E.S. (6800 &

6600 series) is for protection during shipping and storage and will burn off soon after the engine is st arted. Those who desire a longer lasting finish should sand blast the T .E.S. to remove the original p aint, then apply high temperature header paint, such as VHT, a va il a bl e a t most auto part s stores.

• CAUTION: Due to higher underhood temperatures gen-

erated by T.E.S., vehicles equipped with original spark plug wires should have them replaced with high temperature plug wires for longer life.

• NOTE: When cleaning any Edelbrock Pro-Tech coated

TES, use only soap and warm water. The use of caustic solvents (Gunk, etc.) will mar or damage the Pro-Tech coating.

• Please complete and mail your warranty card. Be sure to write the model number of this product in the Part #____ sp ace.
