Thread: Headers to wrap or not? Trying to keep TB cool

header wrap is always good, keeps the heat in the exhaust tubing keeping velocity up and increasing scavaging. down side is it lowers your headers life span, corrosion sometimes cracks at the flanges.

and if i understood right, tb heat shield does not really help much pcv intake tube and filter in fenderwell is about the best you can do.

I wrapped my crossover but it probably does nothing.

Complete wast of time IMHO.

Wrap Matt

Coated exhausts are made for handling the heat.

Its a heaton, you cant stop it.

I honestly wouldnt even waste your time, just leave it as is.

The minute you aren't moving...your entire engine bay is heat soaked.

Metal TB heat shields are nothing but a way to slice your hands when doing any work on the car.
Wrapping the exhaust/crossover isn't helping you enough to bother IMO.

Not to mention the occasional case of wrap ruining the headers.

Yay, another worthless thing that won't make a sh1ts lick of difference for intake temps or under the hood temps for that matter.

Guy, you be beating a dead horse.

Where the does the exhaust run...RIGHT OVER THE TRANSMISSION.

Go make some custom long tubes that go under the motor and move the heat source away from the engine bay.

But then you have the Heaton M90 sitting on top of the motor heating up the TB and everything else as well because of how innefficient they are.

But, go ahead and wrap stainless steel so it warps. That's another good idea.
