What exhaust wrap?

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

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

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

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?

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.
