Heat Wrapping Exhaust??

[Jay_]

Just purchased a Supersprint exhaust off -Jason- (Cheers dude) And I was just pondering...

If i heat wrap the entire length of the pipe, I know it will get the exhaust up to temp quicker, but will be to any benefit to me ie - performance, making the exhaust last longer etc etc!


Cheers!! :y:

Why? Just wrap the manifold where the most head is let off :-)

you will not really see a performance benefit.
As it can restrict the expansion of the metal i'd recommend you use it if you have a problem with heat damaging/shortening the life of other engine components.
