So I am looking on Summit about to place a order but I am wondering what is the better exhaust wrap to get?

You have a few different materials to choose from.

Fiberglass
Titanium
Thermo-tec
Thermo-tec copper coated

Etc etc

 

racepartsolutions sell some stuff that made out of crushed up lava rock, and its supposed to be some really good stuff...i just ordered a roll of it

 

They have that too on Summit.

 

the Lava stuff is really good and easy to work with but pricey.

 

Mine is just regular ol exhaust wrap that looks kinda like it's made out of hemp. I guess my car is a stoner...

 

I hate the old fiberglass ****, it starts falling apart then the fiberglass gets all up on your skin and your face, makin me mad thinking about it lol

 

I have no clue what kind mine is. I'd buy the cheapest stuff you get the most of for the dollar.

 

I used the DEI titanium wrap. You can order through Advance auto or online. Real easy to use and you don't have to use the spray. It took 2 1/2 50' rolls to do my entire trubo hotside.


I drove the truck for any hour with a couple hits on the expressway and was able to touch the pipes after a minute or two after shutdown.

 

Have you seriously considered ceramic coating? Contact classic coatings in Sheboygan wi and you might be surprised. For the cost of wrap and the time involved for how long it lasts ceramic was a no brainer to me.

 

Ceramic coating would be great but I want to run this car and it is running and driving now. I can't coat the kit in a few hours in my driveway and If it is coming apart then it is because I am putting a bigger turbo on.

I think I am going to go with the LR DEI stuff. I am also going to get a turbo blanket to see how much all of this will help.

 

Your car is also a meth-head. Hell, you had to water down the meth.

 

Is there any bad effect of heat wrap on the metal itself making it weaker and developing leaks due to deterioration because of excessive heat?

 

She couldn't function properly otherwise, bitch couldn't even walk straight, she drinks so much that she'll never know the difference...

 

Im am necromancing this thread because rather then make a thread i have this questions. Ive got jet hot 2000 coated turbo headers, will wrapping them deteriorate my turbo pipes?

 

+1 on the lava wrap

 

I have the DEI Titanium Wrap in stock (an can beat Summit's prices!) it works awesome.

Ive always heard either wrap OR coat, not both. I wouldnt want to cover up a nice set of shiny or freshly coated manifolds anyway.

 

but wouldnt that give it even better heat control plus keep the steel more protected cause of the inside coat ?

 

It will damage the coating and rust will form. The lava rock stuff is awesome.

 

the lava rock is shiznit.
i will never use that fiberglass **** ever again.
