I've seen a few exhausts use the spray, wrap the exhaust properly and still have it happen. It traps the moisture underneath the wrap between the exhaust pipe and the wrap. Then the exhaust gets repeatedly heated up and cooled down which will corrode the metal away in time. Sure, yeah... But new moisture will always find it's way underneath the wrap even if it evaporates old moisture. Personally, if heat was my concern I would have the exhausted coated. It took about 15k-20k miles on the last exhaust I saw it happen to.
