I am just wondering if it is possible to wrap the downpipe while its in the car? The previous owner didnt and I am too lazy to pull it to wrap it.

Also what should I use to wrap the exhaust side of the turbo its a t78. And I have seen those huge blanket things but they are like 300bux and I dont think that they are worth that much.

 

i wrapped scrub's downpipe while it was on the car... it wasn't easy and i got a few bloody knuckles.

i would reccomend using a screw clamp around the wrapping about every 4-6 inches you wrap. it makes it much easier so that you don't have to worry about messing up and starting all over...

 

I dont get why people wrap exhaust parts. All you're doing is trapping what water gets in there and causing premature rust.

 

lol

try searching.

 

Basically, the idea behind it is to keep the exhaust gas velocity high. When it cools, it slows.

I wraped my downpipe mainly because it sounded like a cricket lived in there(actually more of a "tinking" noise) and the wrap took care of it.

 

I also wrapped mine on the car. Wasn't all that difficult, although I couldn't get it cleanly around the DP for the first couple of inches. Still, my main motivation for wrap was to reduce under hood temps. I don't have any numbers for you, but I think it helped, significantly.

 

I'm going to wrap my DP also. I also thing it can dramatically reduce underhood temps.

I'm not decided yet if I want to wrap my turbos...

 

I know what you mean, I hate it when my stainless steel DP rusts.
