Sorry

 

no need to apologise mate

 

What down pipe are you running?

 

miltek down pipe decat 3inch a **** to get it to fit

 

rcm headers fitted today

 

still not running need gasket to fit up pipe as you can ser in last picture

 

Can't wait to hear it mate. Shame you live in Cork, I come fishing every May in Cavan Gowna. Could of heard it first hand :-)

 

You wanna get those headers wrapped mate, lots of heat rising in the bay there and with a short ram induction it's not ideal...what you doing with the headers and up pipe you have removed?

 

good advice not sure weather to wrapmor not

 

Wrapping cheap 304 stainless can and will cause cracking as you can exceed the heat tolerance of the metal and it will become brittle

 

so nobody wraps stainless headers then?
What would you rather have cracked headers after a length of time or high inlet temps constantly?
Mine are wrapped and no problems here...have known it happen to people who use antilag

 

Im not saying no body wraps them, I am saying it is not a good idea and that you will need to replace them sooner or later due to cracking.

304 stainless cannot cope with the heat demands of a turbo charged engine, it is however, cheap.

 

i have decided not to wrap them see how it goes

 

If you decide not to wrap them, you will find they will start to melt everything plastic near them when used hard in hot weather, cam belt covers, wiring & connectors to the rad fans, sometimes the rad fan shrouds, & the oil filter will suffer.

 

time to wrap them then lol

 

could prove to be a wise move

 

Could get them ceramic coated....

 

look great but absolutely no gains over the Oem headers and as above massive engine bay temps its about the only part left on my twin scroll jdm thats standard lol

 

how many feet of wrapping required to wrap these

 

ordered the wrapping today however look at second pic if the headers we need a gasket for the up pipe its a completly different shape to the oe gasket any ideas where i would get a gasket guys

 

rcm?

 

That is some sexy welding and pipework right there!
