I would NOT use grease on the rag because the chips will stick to the grease. This is the reason you use the grease and this is the reason that grease fails. You can't get all the chips out when you shop vac (or magnet) the rag off and they get stuck in the manifold. When you just use a dry rag and the shop vac 99% of the chips will suck right out. Leave the muffler off on startup and the rest should fly out.

This is a common debate in the Ford truck forums because you have to drill and tap the exhaust manifold in place for your pyrometer aka EGT gauge. I would have to say all opinions have their place and there is logic behind all of them.
