ok,that header wrap stuff,if you know what i'm talking about,if i was to wrap my intake piping with it would it keep hot air away from my intake?or would it just cause it to get hotter in the intake?

 

ya,the header gets to hot though sometimes and cracks.i dunno it was just a thought for the intake.

 

yeah...it's an insulator, so it should keep heat away from the intake air.

 

thats what i was thinking,i just realized this should be in the engine tech forum though,can someone move it

 

But the intake air is hot from the engine bay, so it can't dissipate through the metal of the intake.

 

ya i can't figure out if it would keep hot air in or not.is the air in the intake manifold get hot ?

 

What you're saying regarding the intake makes sense,if that's how you're planning on using the wrap.Those wraps aren't the greatest for your headers though,I was warned by a local tuner shop not to use them because they actually trapp moisture and will eventually rot out your header (stainless or ceramic).They did say however that they do work and that they would order them if I still wanted them.Even though my headers are ceramic coated they recommended going with Swain coatings (or another company,I forget).They do a more extensive job of coating your headers.Hope this helps you or anyone else out there.

 

yeah, I was thinking of a CAI...if it's a short ram, though, it's gonna be hot no matter what.

 

i'm gunna get some and someday when i get my car on a dyno,i'll wrap it up and tell you guys the results,gunna be awhile though.

 

oh,by the way,importsyn,there is a spay ment for spraying over the wrap on the header,so that moister doesn't get to it like you were saying.
