exhaust wrap??

[robertc68]

Will it hurt anything if I wrap my downpipe to get the under hood temps down ? Thanks,Robert

[07OUTLAW]

I doubt it will hurt anything. I'm not sure how much it would help though

I definitely won't hurt, I don't know it will do much for performance. If youwrap the up-pipes, that should help your turbo spool a little quicker

Ok thanks.I actually did wrap the up pipes,was just inquiring if wrapping the down pipe would help lower radiant heat.

Ceramic coated exhaust components, I've been told, hold heat in better than the wrap

Yeah I plan on getting the up pipes done too,but need to get new ones first.

I have heard that too. I have also heard that ceramic coating empties your wallet faster than the wrap

I paid 160.00 plus shipping for the manifolds.

I know this is an old thread....

How hard it it to heat wrap ONLY the up-pipes going to the turbo? I want to help turbo spool but have never dealt with heat wrapping

Also, where would I get the "wrap" and what exactly is it?

Thank you for the help guys

There are a number of different products and most of them are only rated to 1200* continuous with a 2000* intermittent. Mine are wrapped with a 2000* continuous 3000* intermittent over ceramic coating. I used Heatshield Products Inferno Header Wrap and purchased it from Summit Racing. It will take the best part of 100 ft to wrap the Y pipe properly. I used 35 ft just from the pass. side manifold to the upper connection where it joins the Y pipe. The stuff ain't cheap.
