just wondering if anyone has actually used the heat wrap with paint... and if it has made a difference... should i do either or? or both... ? or none? thanks

 

bump no one?

 

still no one?

 

i am interested to see this...

i really have no clue
...sry

 

heat wrap will help a bit...dont paint

 

3 for no... and one for none so i'm assuming don't do anything?... i saw these arc fin's that attach to the tranny dp and radiator to keep it cool? can't find them post when i find it...

the ARC cooling fin? worth it? thanks

 

you should of just put Yes and No, not both or none, those make no since.. none is the same and no, and you cant do both........ :/

 

do a before and after dyno to see if it's worth it. IMO it's not, things get hot since it's a combustion engine, i'd recommend leaving it alone.

 

thanks i think you were the most helpful.. i'll just leave it alone and install the dp tom thanks again

 

i think i am going to heatwrap my DP. the idea is to keep the heat inside the pipe and not dissipate to engine area.

 

Well.. It can't hurt.

 

i have my buschur downpipe heatwrapped. i haven't noticed/tested it out compared to non-wrapped, but i get piece of mind because the downpipe comes real close to the oil pan. if it doesn't help exhaust out that much, it is a good preventative measure for that area. i'm sure it might help out oil temps but i got no data .

 

I wrapped the DP.
Keeps the heat away from the oil pan. No problems after 3 years.

 

I would advise against heat wrap. The main issue I have with it is that it usually traps moisture, and in some cases salt, between the material and the pipe usually causing corrosion. A pro application of some kind of ceramic coating would most likely work much better. If you want to go all out, then order some gold heat reflection tape from a race team. Gold is one of the greatest reflectors of heat known to man...looks pretty cool too haha.
