Kirkyyb36 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Not really thought much of it but is it good to heat wrap the exhaust manifold? Or is it pointless! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stu Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Depends if you have issues with excessive heat in the engine bay? The idea is the heat is transferred through to the exhaust rather than radiating out of the exhaust manifold and turbo. I haven't ever bothered wrapping the turbo manifold as it can get a bit tricky wrapping between the runners, but I quite often wrap the turbo downpipe. Alot of people say this increases corrosion but to be honest I havent seen any worth worrying about after a couple of years of running. Personal preference I guess.

Ollieh17 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Ramhorns do like good wrapped, but majority ofHeatwrap on ebay is cheap and shit and flakes apart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bussey Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 As long as it's a good quality manifold, and it's wrapped evenly then you will be fine, it defiantly has a huge impact on bay temperatures. Just make sure it doesn't get soaked in oil, because if it sets alight, your not putting it out, someone I know lost a mint sapphire 4x4 cosworth because that happened.
