Thermal Wrap

Anyone know where to get any locally? Is there any difference in quality, price, or a particular brand that kicks ass? sucks ass?

Re: Thermal Wrap

I am not a 100% sure but I would guess MAS or TNT motorsports would have it in stock. Or its something that QPR or Elite could get if they don't already have some.

Re: Thermal Wrap

I'm pretty sure MAS in St. Paul has it. Never visited TNT but they're a motorsports shop so I don't see any reason why they wouldn't have any either.

Re: Thermal Wrap

something to wrap my o2 housing and downpipe, possible my part of my exhaust manifold and turbine housing; I'm having some overheating issues that I'm sure are due to heat from my exhaust components; the plastic wrap I have protecting the wires for my cooling fan on that side is nice and melty!

Re: Thermal Wrap

yeah, i had a problem where my fan blades were actually melted and started crumbling down and were hitting the supports

after i wrapped the exhaust with the thermal wrap it cut down on the heat quite a bit.

Re: Thermal Wrap

You can check with any local motorcycle shop too, I've seen them carry it before. I had my o2 housing wrapped and it made a huge difference in engine bay heat.

Re: Thermal Wrap

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.
