Just curious, anyone know if wrapping the exhaust would reduce temps too?I should have elaborated, not performance in terms of HP but if it actually reduces temperatures.
I did and it does help for sure. I don't know if it lowers engine temps at all, but air temps around the exaust drop noticably.Just curious, anyone know if wrapping the exhaust would reduce temps too?
You have a diesel the exhaust pipe never even gets hot compared to a gas burnerI did and it does help for sure. I don't know if it lowers engine temps at all, but air temps around the exaust drop noticably.
1400 degrees is not hot?You have a diesel the exhaust pipe never even gets hot compared to a gas burner

Ok. Why? Were talking about headers and engine bay temps.Put an EGT probe in the tailpipe and tell me what you see then
As an Asian-American, I can safely say: "they are still a long ways away from the C cup." HeheOn a related note, bra sizes are increasing in China as diet improves due to an emerging middle class.
The guy asked about wrapping the exhaust, did you assume he was talking about wrapping the cast iron manifolds?Ok. Why? Were talking about headers and engine bay temps.
How many of you have had your manifolds coated? Any noticeable gains etc?
I had a exhaust header for my 2.25 petrol ceramic coated by Jet Hot Coating about 17 years ago. I did it to prevent rust though. And to hopefully keep a little heat away from my alternator and starter.
It's rusted some so I guess I could send it back to be redone, to see how their lifetime warranty is.
I wrapped my headers in my old turbo miata, and it helped a great deal. I'm sure the same would be true for the Defender.
No, why would we be talking about that in this thread? We are all clearly talking about wrapping the tail-pipe, to lower the temperatures behind your car as you drive. Nobody cares about lower temperatures in the engine bay.The guy asked about wrapping the exhaust, did you assume he was talking about wrapping the cast iron manifolds?
No it doesn't. You can lick it while at speed on the freeway. :toungeMy Tdi Exhaust gets hotter then an Asian woman with a D-cup especially under my feet in the summer. I am going to try the wrap..
