Exhaust heat wrap

[R0L0]

Are these any good? Would it damage my head if i used it on a R19 manifold?:?

lot of hassle to put it on. I don't think it'd cause damage to the head but...

is your manifold the standard one & is the engine out the car?

i have read on another forum that it caused the manifold weld to crack (supersprint one on the top plate to down pipe weld)

I was thinking of doing this to mine, although wraping the standard manifold might look shite as its not round. might not be able to get it as tightly as I'd like

Well the heads out of the car (manifold attached) & its a standard 1. It would be easier as its out & thought that it'd get rid of the heat quicker, as you may well know, it gets so bloody hot! (just noticed ads for exhaust wraps above:lol

 

[craigus1977]

When you do it, would you post up some pics please? Would be interested in how it turns out

i heared that the standard manifolds dont like it but your the boss dont let it rule you lmao supersprints dont like it ethier as jr mentioned

yeh thatd be tricky to get heatwrap round a standard mani! wots a supersprint btw? i was thinkin of heat wrappin my downpipe, just for the hell of it, while its off, wot u reckon? obviously id get rid of the standard heatshield first!

supersprint >the make of stainless manifold made for the 19

i was warned against this on my valver as the standard mani is cast made and is prone to cracking, i have however done it on my gordini and noticed a big difference in under bonnet heat and i can touch manifold when engine at hottest without it burning ( not recommended but i had to try ) i havent driven it since i have had it done but may improve bhp and keep turbo cooler

you would struggle to get it properly wrapped on the cast manifold tbh
