as above, it has only been on about 20 ish miles, of soft driving. and it has started to burn on the out side of the silver finish. it has got the tan mat under neath (2 layers) and the silver on top. its smoking abit and the silver finish is turning brown in a couple of places.

anyone else have this problem?

 

I'm interested to know Ian as I was considering buying a kit for my S215,may not now given the cost as well!

 

Sounds very strange as DEI is top quality kit,they do smoke and smell a little when first fitted but it should not burn or set on fire,are you sure its 100% DEI and not a copy ian as some of the cheap sh/t around at the minute is not up to the job.

 

It came from demon tweeks so I hope it is real!!

I'll get some pics up over the next day or so

 

I bought one from here.

Good bit of kit and no duty to pay.

You've seen mine haven't you Ryan?

 

i got one off ebay,dont rate it at all its too big they reckon you can touch the outside after driving & it will be cool well mine to bloody hot to touch,cant comment on the top quality ones.

 

my blanket took a few good runs to burn in and stop smoking, but now after 60 odd hard miles its excellent, although you can still get a faint smell from it when you first turn the engine off.

 

The smell ( I would describe ) is like a cinder toffee smell from good quality DEI
But any material that burns in your engine bay is a fire hazard
So if it's a fake , u want to take it off ASAP

 

I have the ptp one doesnt smoke and i can touch it
