Heat rap? leave on or off???

[LukeColby]

Bought some heat rap to put on turbo before fitting to make it a bit different but not 100% weather to keep and do manifold and de cat or just leave as is

What do u lads think?

[Ollieh17]

If its stainless leave it,mild wrap it for looks!looks stainless so id leave it

[LukeColby]

Yh it is buddy just dunno what to do yet :/

[Turbo Goose]

Id leave it tbh, rust looks horrible but stainless shoudlnt rust depending on grade but think the grade they use for manifolds does rust. Check it, if it sticks to a magnet it will rust. Id say leave it while it looks good then wrap it when it doesnt

[LukeColby]

Sounds like a good idea , it is a wepr manifold so im assuming it is a really good quality

[Gainzy]

Collect moist ad leave it

[LukeColby]

Looks like leave it be haha

Heat wrap won't be efficient if you don't wrap everything all the way to the back box....otherwise the heat will escape at the nearest part of exhaust system that isn't wrapped, making it pointless.

but if you do it for looks or to protect another part inside the bay then i would say do it

[LukeColby]

I was going to do do it for looks but it dose not look as good as i thought it was going to

Always been advised not to wrap mild steel as the wrap can hold water and encourage rust.

I plan to wrap my exhaust and decat and ceramic coat the manifold but that's mainly for bay temps and its only a short side exit so doesn't really require much

[wickedep]

wouldnt wrap it mate. it could cause uneven hot spots. will also void the warranty on your manifold . if you want to keep temps down...ceramic coat it mate..proper way to do it.

sacha

Its off didont really look great and from your help seems a bad idea any way

Cheers for the help lads
