nazzurro19 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 well i was having a look over the car today and noticed that my inlet side fmic pipe is rubbing and has almost worn a hole through , also with getting a new mani n turbo upgrade etc i thought that now would be a good time to wrap it , i noticed places like bnq sell it for wrapping copper piping on boilers, would this do the trick its only £3 a roll but then ive found some stuff which is on car sites for £20+ is it the same or is one more special etc ? also has anyone else wrapped there fmic pipe and how did it go ?and then secondly i thought while having my mani - turbo kit in a box in my room maybe it would be a good idea to heat wrap it as im wrapping the pipe so i can keep all the heat in and all the heat out etc but i saw a thrad on this where people said it was bad due to the mani not being able to release heat and so fourth causes excess heat stress and can crack the mani , is this true ? or is it only for stainless manifolds (mines mild steel)so should i wrap mani & fmic pipewrap maniwrap fmic pipe any pictures and advice would be appreciated also id be using some black heatwrapalso if people know of good places to try links ;) ive looked on ebay , monster motorsport etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Amjad Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Naz check my threads, I recently had one about heat wrap, general consensus is it won't do any harm so mayt as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jham Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 im unsure what colour to go for, can imagine white or any of the coloured wraps going real manky after a while, might have to go for black,i reckon some peeps should get pics up of theres! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
