26893, heat resitant wrap? Posted by ajna_star, Jul-08-02 06:54 AM what can i wrap around my cold-air intake pipe to keep the aluminum pipe from heating up? brands? thanks! | |

26894, RE: heat resitant wrap? Posted by Corbin, Jul-08-02 10:34 AM Thermo-tech or Cool-tech make sticky aluminum backed fiber-glass tape for lower temperature applications. It reflects heat and insulates. You use it on intake pipes, fuel lines, and electrical stuff. Check out www.jegs.com and www.summitracing.com. | |

26896, RE: heat resitant wrap? Posted by Super20G, Jul-08-02 01:22 PM I would be careful when wrapping things to keep the heat out, sometimes you end up trapping more heat IN. | |

26898, RE: heat resitant wrap? Posted by fly1, Jul-08-02 02:44 PM Since your intake pipe is aluminum, it's probably better not to wrap it. Aluminum will not heat up as fast anyway; but, if you still want to wrap it, I've used the Cool-tech wraps before and they work well. As for wrapping exhaust manifolds, the wraps do work, it could also trap moisture under the wraps, which could possibly, eventually causing the exhaust manifold to crack. | |
