thanking about wraping my header to cool the under hood temps and keep the s/c cooler. anyone else done this yet. also how much cooler would it be if i did do it.

It would definitly be a good idea

I got my manifold jet coated. They say that it should bring the temps down by about 800 to 1000 degres keep in mind that this is a turbo set up I also wraped the down pipe and the s pipe to hold in heat. I have not yet gotten my manifold back yet so I dont know how much cooler it will keep it but I will post back with you whene I get it all installed to let you know what a difrence it makes.

Header wrap is very well known to cause stress cracks from overheating. The only things I would wrap are things such as audio wires that wouldn't hold up too well to long-term engine bay temperatures.

i just want to wrap the header and s pipe is all ,i think it will also give a aggresive look under the hood

exactly we did this in our project civic hatch that runs 10 n/a motor wrapped the header and hoses and after a few runs and months we figured we were losing hp and we took the wrap off and the header had a stress crack on the weld...so we did do that anymore...lol...i just wrapped everything around my header..u want those babys to breath...lol

Jet hot coat it insteed. Looks alot better and in most cases better
