Header wrap 2 Attachment(s) I am thinking about using heat wrap on my Edelbrock headers does anyone have any thoughts or experience of doing this? I have removed the air tubes from both manifolds and the heat riser for the air filter from the left manifold. |
Re: Header wrap Wait until you can get them ceramic coated instead. |

Re: Header wrap My headers are wrapped on my car. It Definitely reduced engine bay temp by id say 10-15F or so, Just dont expect it to be ANYTHING like ceramic coating. Take your time and grab some thin metal wiring to help hold it on the actual header ( as i dont see any other way to actually keep it on the headers itself) |

You can touch them, quickly but still VERY hot. If your looking for the "cool to the touch" after a 15min cool down you need to go with ceramic coating. Header wrap only helps with engine bay temp. |
Re: Header wrap The wrap will retain heat inside the headers, so they'll erode from the inside out faster. |
Re: Header wrap my headers were wrapped when I bought the car. I can touch the wrap and not burn myself. seems to work great for my car. |
Re: Header wrap I've checked the price to get them ceramic coated and it's $1388 Don't use header warp; it's destructive, ineffective, and does nothing but cause problems. When I was in Coventry the other day, seems like I saw a coating place; but I could be wrong. Might have just been powder coating. Meanwhile, here's what it REALLY costs. http://www.camcoat.u-net.com/Exhtprices2002.htm About a quarter of that number you made up. There's plenty of others of course; that's just the first one I found that posts their prices. Which are actually pretty close to the same as in the US. |

That's outrageous. That's 4 times what it REALLY costs. Don't let that fantasy stand in your way of doing the right thing for yourself.

This is where I got a quote of $1388/£835 http://www.zircotec.com/?source=adwo...FagKwwodig0AKw |
