exhuast wrap

does anyone no where you can get exhuast wrap for a decent price and how many meters i will need for a crossflow manifold

thanks

i wouldnt use it mate its crap, it comes of and is a waste of money, get it coated by camcoat or zircotec, end of problem

i only want it because the manifold is all rustyand dont look good where can i get camcoat or zircotec

thanks

its not corrode too much it just looks horrible in the engine bay

Wot Vista says mate

or use zicotec, same thing its £35 per foot of pipe, just send it to them , end of

www.zircotec.com

baz im in the same predicament at the mo as i have a new three piece to go on mine and was going to wrap it but dont know now what to do as high temp paint is bollox..

Go on the rusty manifold i say ! Spend the money on petrol

you have a point doc

i'll just leave mine rusty

Hi mate. Demontweeks or Burtons , it's not cheep about £38.00 per 50ft,

plus you need some metal ties or locking wire. Best only get 1" wide, it's easyer to do. You proberly need 2 rolls. It dose work ,it's not just for looks .

barbeque paint?

Or simply keep the bonnet shut and spend it on beer or petrol

A GOOD plumbers meechant will stock a fibreglass wrapping for boilers

just put this on my down pipe and most of my system,got it from rally design £18 i think it was for the 1" by im sure 15 meters.get it soaking wet before applying and wrap it tight.then use lock wire every few inches to keep it tight.works well on mine,looks tidy and has'nt come loose or faded.but each to there own really m8.good luck

Exhaust Wrap does work, but it will shorten the life of your manifold greatly.

If its just got a liberal coating of surface rust and isnt actually rotten then have it shot blasted and then painted with one of the exhaust paints out there, the one on my Zetec is an Ashley one that looked pap, Dave at Retro Ford got it blasted and then painted it with an exhaust paint and its just a lovely satin black colour with no sign of the paint coming off or discolouring in 3 months.

i second that when i had heat wrap the manifold used to crack all the time it now hasnt cracked since i put car in ditch, painted in vht paint still looks good and no cracks so far!

thanks i think i will try it i have got a spare manifold so if it cracks i can change it

if your after some high temp paint - i would recommend this stuff - its rated to 816'c - not the usual 650'c.
