View Full Version : Heat Wrap
Anybody ever used this? Is it worth using it? The old 4 branch is looking a bit lonely :wink:
Some says it makes a difference and turbo motors, but dont know about NA.
Had a quick look and found this:

Muchos betteros
:lol:
Similar stuff from tweeks for £35 or so that you paint on, personally i'fd do that and a wrap lol
Prices not too bad either mate 8)
4 branch is only 6 months old though :)
I've got ceramic coat on my manifold. Brought the engine bay temperature down by a few degrees. Not sure if I got any performance improvement. But it does keep the manifold in superb condition for a long time. Quite expensive though, as it had to be sandblasted, coated and oven baked. Took better part of a day.
About £100 for a 4 branch IIRC.
Looks tonnes better than wrap, and works better too
I agree, heat wrap does look a bit shitty! But if it serves a purpose..... 8)
Have to admit coated looks a lot better than wrapped and at 100 pounds is not bad price too. But you can't beat the sheer wow value of grabbing hold a wrapped exhaust while at operating temperature. :D But was told neither gives much performance improvement for NA cars though.
