Well lesson learned and a note for anyone else.

Black exhaust wrap isn't worth using on a manifold. Even the dei wrap used with the dei high temp silicone spray spreads fibres everywhere and makes a fair mess.

Gonna be fun re wrapping it with titanium wrap before the cruise on Saturday.

Yeh Great Fail data jockey ......

 

that's not my creation, that's not one of my customers

infact it's one of the most regarded tuners vehicle that's ever graced this forum and a correctly mounted heat Shield out does any other method so maybe hang around for a bit you might learn something princess

Aimed at John yea?

I've heard heat shields are better but I'd like to get away without a heat shield if possible. I know it's a cop magnet but I prefer the look of the manifold without a heat shield. It was the reason I wanted to have it ceramic coated in the first place but the coating is not holding much heat in at all so wrap it is.

Well, you could just put a bit of shielding on the underside of the bonnet and paint it a similar colour to the rest of the bonnet and leave the manifold as-is. ;) (of course making sure all of the lines/hoses/wires around the rear of the manifold are not anywhere near where they can melt from radiant heat :)

He gets a +2 for the tats and +5 for the crisp bay job. Mentions he hasn't had a shield for some time
