Ok, I ordered some thermotec heat wrap for my manifold, hot side of the turbo and downpipe. Once it gets up to operating temp the damn wrap starts SMOKING! Obviously not a good thing. This shit is supposed to be good up to 2000 degrees farenhieght. Anyone else use this or know why the hell it's smoking? I havent had smoke come out of my bay since the HRC was installed and the coating burnt off. I dont exactly like seeing it now. ;)

its normal.

itll stop smoking in a day or two...it stinks like ass while its smoking too, doesnt it ;)

Oh yea it does! Thanks for the replies man.. (on board boards ;) )

yeah its supposed to smoke when it breaks in. mine only did it for about 10 minutes though. but i had the DEI wrap.

Did that heat wrap realy work for you? or is it waste of money?

:wary

That's perfectly normal. Like everyone else mentioned, the smell will ge gone in a day or two. Plus, you'll notice the color turns darker, too--normal.

Yes I used the DEI wrap on my bike, smoking is normal as is color change. Also, you should get some silicon spray and coat it with it after it stops smoking.
