Exhaust system is 'standard' automotive exhaust pipe. Any muffler shop can make a new exhaust for you. Looks like system in attachment below.
If you make the new exhaust with larger inside diameter, it helps the Aqua-Hot breathe better and makes the exhaust quieter. Current specifications call for 1 3/4" ID, 2" ID would be better.
The exhaust slips over 1 1/2" ID 'black' plumbing pipe nipple. You should be able to leave this pipe in place and just have new pipe built that will slip over it.
The pipe wrap is not required by Aqua-Hot for install. Most coaches do not have any wrapping on them. I am unsure what type of material that was used, however muffler wrap is available if you choose to wrap it again.
