Default Question about heat reduction with DEI Titanium wrap

I was putting the finishing touches on my battery relocation wiring this morning and had to do some special routing to account for my turbo plumbing. There are some areas that various wiring (for the battery as well as misc other stuff) is within 2-3 inches of my plumbing. I know the stock fbody manifolds themselves will get very hot, but will the DEI Titanium wrap I'm putting on my plumbing reduce the heat enough I won't have to worry too much about the wiring somewhat near it?

Yes, it reduces radiant heat dramatically.

So I shouldn't have to worry about nearby wires too much then?

I used that wrap and it helped immensely to keep my wires and loom from melting. Just keep an eye on your wires that are close and make sure you wrap the pipes tightly. You should be good to go.

The titanium wrap is outstanding at keeping the heat in the pipes. I was amazed. Between the wrap and E85 I believe my underhood temps are probably below when everything was stock.

Nice, sounds like I'll be OK then. I'm just paranoid, thanks!
