nice. thats where mine is coming into the cabin.

 

yeah that makes it easy cause now i dont need to mock up the downpipe.

 

so lucky......the bail at 4 part
I am here to at least 6 again tonight

 

hey guys are you wrapping your dp in any parts?

 

if we have to dremel the hole, larger, i think they have gromits we could get at home depot to plug the hole.

 

i don't particularly care for heat wrap, especially after the turbo. the only reason i would personally wrap it, is if it comes close to the oil pan or tie bars.

 

i would recommend getting some header wrap and sealing it with some silicone spray. it will keep heat away from your oil pan and probably hold up pretty well.

 

I was considering it. My buddy said he might have some wrap he was willing to donate otherwise probably not. I am not incredibly concerned.

Always looking to plug the hole dex, aye? No that sounds good. The AEM should come with an o2 bung too.

 

we think alike

of course, i have like 10 feet of piping before the turbo on my car

 

+1

you know its true what they say...

 

It does.... Plus, the heat wrap nicely absorbes any rattles or vibrations you might get with it....AND it makes working on a warm car 100000x easier.


As for install location, you guys coulda asked me...that's exactly how i've mounted mine...

 

I rarely see people wrap the downpipe, not saying that it isnt a good idea. I just think wrap is a hassle. You have to do it correctly or it falls off and if oil gets on it, it could light on fire. Just seems like a pain and we have an oil cooler anyway so i dunno.

 

the silicone spray makes it water proof so you don't have to worry about it absorbing oil either.

 

I dont plan on wrapping mine. bolt and go. done.

I personally haven't had issues for about 3+ years now. also one less thing to worry about after install. Can't see this new pipe being any different than my existing dp.

 

Yeah, I didn't know too much about it at the time, I just thought it was the appropriate thing to do...

since mine gets close to the cross bracing in some areas it worked out well as a built-in cusion.
