Exhaust wrap
Is it safe to have the down pipe wraped up in Exhaust wrap to keep the heat in?

What if for any reason the heat can not go back, would it not rush forward in the turbo's? or is that me thinking stupid....?

Sam We wouldn't do it if it wasn't safe. The wrap keeps the heat in the exhaust gases, more heat = more kinetic energy = faster gases = better flow out of the exhaust = more power It is also done to help keep underbonnet temps down which is vital if you have an induction kit. Rich |

Sam This is the real advantage of wrapping the D.P, it will keep the unerbonnet temps down, which equals cooler air into the engine, which equals more power. Also, it'll prevent you melting any wiring near the D.P. |
In a much cruder way, this is what the heat shield metalwork does on a stock system.

could you refit the standerd heat shields to a decat pipe?
or is there threads welded onto the standerd downpipe? i was going to have a look today but i got so excited i just fitted the downpipe and vf23 as quick as i could and forgot all about it forgot to connect the oil return pipe up and started it up and dropped il all over the drive :rolleyes: lmao took it for a spin just before, makes sum fooken noise :eek: bangs and pops a bit and ive got a recirc valve fited :eek: |
