Default Best heat wrap ?

Seems there is a lot out there, some cheap, some not ?

What's the best.....best value ?

For a setup that's a tight squeeze with bodywork in places, and no real room for shield.

Also have used some cheapish T4 blankets before....again a lot of crap out there. Who makes the good stuff ?

Ceramic isnt really an option. Far too expensive, and as the parts used are not new, most companies in the UK offering the coating dont guarantee it. ( Well...there is only about 2 companies lol )

Plus on any cars Ive worked on with ceramic coated headers and turbine housings, they're still ******* roasting !

DEI titanium, the only draw back is once you put heat to it you can't take it off. It just crumbles if you take it off and try to put it back on. Just make sure you don't have to make any piping changes and you will be ok. It dropped my under hood temps and helped with spooling too. They also make a really nice t4 blanket.

I went with black because the titanium fingerprints really easy.

Another DEI Titanium wrap fan. I also used a rattle can bake on ceramic paint from VHT.

I like the titanium for looks but found the thicker fibreglass horrible white stuff insulated better. So what i did was wrap in the white stuff then a second layer of titanium

I see a lot of them advertise some "volcano" stuff, I assume this is the best most resilient option ?

POR15 black velvet, then wrapped in DEI titanium cause it looks cool.

I run a PTP turbo blanket and that allows me to touch the cover right after a hot run etc, so works really well.

Rustoleum BBQ grill paint works great, held up better than the VHT header paint on all 3 of my manifolds over the years. Cheapo DEI titanium wrap here as well.

That's funny, I've used the BBQ paint too.
Adds a "mesquite" smell to the exhaust!
