some people think its worth it but with my vents i dont notice exhaust heat...
my lanes looking a lil sad at the moment, hasnt had rego for a few months, waiting on the returnal of a bond, we have been told we get it but there was an issue with who was ment to be on the bond and who was listed... so the RTA is in the process of sorting that. then its find a new battery and get rego again. i cant wait. been driving a KF laser since. i need POWA!!! |

It's actually not that bad with those wheels and spoiler and the side trim removed could be worse

As long as you wrap it evenly and dont overlap the wrap too much, heat wrap will work fine. I wrapped my chromed extractors due to excessive heat and it works well, havent had any problem so far. But yes, heat wrap can cause pipes to crack like what huggie said, the wrap keeps all the heat inside the pipe so if it is wrapped too heavily in sections, it'll build up hot spots and then you'll be running into dramas.. I cant stand the look of heatwrap to be honest but it's good s**t, will do till i can afford HPC
 Should look real nice when the red AU cover goes on

Basically i did it to reduce the overall engine bay heat and lower my intake temps. Because my extractors are chrome coated they used to heat up real good and on long drives and you could feel the car become a bit sluggish. More or less my extractors were an engine bay heater lol, so my intake piping and BBM were very heat soaked which was causing my sluggish performance. After wrapping it, its dropped the temps a fair bit, i can even quickly grab the pipes without being burnt and the car now performs as it should. Also did it to help prevent the plastic brake booster from cracking which it is known to do as well as save my throttle and cruise cables from melting
