Exhaust Manifold wrap

[BaileyMex]

Hi all,

 

Just a quick one,

 

Exhaust manifold heat wrap,

 

Pros?

Cons?

 

And how many meters would you think you would need for a Xflo manifold? 5 meters?

meant to keep engine bay tenperature down, but i have heard that it can make manifolds crack as the temperature cant escape making them hotter. so i dont no what to make of it really

OK thanks peeps

 

Oh and Glen

good if you don't mind wrapping it back on all the time like beer zone said get a stainless one

Not seen any HP through it being on mine, although being pre-crossflow it's probably a more of benefit in traffic than it would be on yours. Can look better than a rusty old manifold. I have also heard they get the steel too hot and fall appart quicker as suggested above.

Ron @ Ht racing, said its only really worth doing on a fwd car. Doesnt really do anything on a rwd car. I have my downpipe wrapped, doesnt make that much differance, still gets bloody hot

I used stainless lock wire on mine with the locking pliers that Burtons do. Holds it all in place nicely.

With what you've spent getting your car looking right Colin, I'd get a proper job done and get the manifold coated by the likes of camcoat or zircotec. Thermal barrier and corrosion proofed in one hit.

I'd love a stainless steel mass style, but who would be the best people to get a price from as an alternative?
