60862, Insulation for exhaust and hoses...
Posted by gilee_8, Nov-18-03 05:49 AM
Sup guys.
After turbo charged, my engine bay temp is really high.
So I want to get some insulation wrapping for my Exhaust Manifold, DownPipe and other Rubber Hose (coolant hose)

Can you Pros let me know where you got those insulation wrapping for the exhaust? and also where can I get the insulation for the rubber hose?

THanks guys!
Appreciated in advance!:thumbsup :bowdown

Thanks alot!

About the exhaust manifold insulation, and DP insulation.

I remember I said someone's pic with like (wrapping) type of things that wrap around the manifold and DP and they will decrease the temp.
Any of you guys using those??? you konw where I can get them or what they are called?
Thanks

I thought using insulation wrap would trap moisture and corrode the pipes/ manifold??

yes... But what would you rather have? Also, if you do that copper coating, you should be fine. Plus you cant see the pipes when they are covered and the coroding is minimal
