pics of HKS wrapped turbo manifold
 

anyone have any? wanna see what it looks like.

Hey! I did that with my manifold yesterday :)
I can mention that I have never wrapped before but I think I got it right after a couple of tries.

I do not know if that is that is good thing but last time me and friend did that to his HKS manifold, a year later it had cracks all over the runners. I don't think that is a good thing and Corky bell from Cartech told us the samething as it wasn't a good thing. In the end, he had to buy a new one.

ive had my hks one wrapped for years still no issues

It may be easier to make a heat shield

actually I had to weld a couple of cracks before wrapping it. Crappy HKS hope it holds together or else I´ll build a new one.

how about ceramic paint instead?

ceramic coatring makes a HUGE difference imo. but ive never heard of heat wrap causing manifold cracks.....

i have on cheaper manifolds, i didnt think the hks cast iron ones could crack?

The wrapping contains the moist comming from a cooling pipe so that corrosion will occur. It´s 2008 now so have that coated instead... ;) Nicer looks and you don´t get the itch from messing with the wrapping. And if your still worried about heat spreading to your LIM, just have that coated also. That´s what I´ll do! :D

No first you heat coat then you wrap it too! :icon_tup:
