Has anyone ever actually tried to wrap the stock exhaust manifold and/or o2 sensor housing? What a ffing joke! I think I'm going to just spring for a new manifold, get it jet coated, and get a nice, polished heat-shield. I'll use the heat-wrap for my downpipe later, but here's a quick pic of my shyte attempt this weekend.
I was lucky enough to break off an exhaust manifold-to-turbine bolt last weekend, so I yanked off my "ported exhaust manifold" to get a better look at the turbine housing (when I bought the car, I was told it was *way* ported a lot of people know who I bought this car from, keep that in mind next time you buy something from someone).

bitches.
