LukeColby Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 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 isWhat do u lads think? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 If its stainless leave it,mild wrap it for looks!looks stainless so id leave it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LukeColby Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 Yh it is buddy just dunno what to do yet :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Turbo Goose Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LukeColby Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 Sounds like a good idea , it is a wepr manifold so im assuming it is a really good quality Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie5414 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LukeColby Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 I was going to do do it for looks but it dose not look as good as i thought it was going to Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wickedep Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
