Wrapping manifold back!?
I am running a 3rd gen with a single turbo(Gr67{t66}) stainless manifold, downpipe, and midpipe with titanium exhaust. My question still, after searching, is whether or not I should waste my time wrapping the manifold, and the rest of the exhaust system in order to increase its efficiency somewhat as well as keep engine bay temps down. I have also been contemplating a turbo blanket as well. If anyone could share their experiences, I would greatly appreciate it. thanks.

You should wrap the manifold and the downpipe anything after that is almost useless, unless you want it like 1 DB quiter :P
A heat shield for the hotside of the turbo would also help. |
i find the wrap also helps with the sound
less tinny but yes wrap it |
How much does that stuff go for?
|
50CAD for me for a 2" wide by 50 foot roll
theres tons of stuff to use |
is wrapping beneficial if the manifold has already been ceramic coated?

Wrap everything :bigthumb: |
i have that same kit and i had to get a heat shield because the turbo started to burn through the heat shield on my heater hose..... im glad i caught it before it actually burned all the way throught the hose.

yes wrap it up ,you might need a couple of packets but its well worth it . i wrapped my exhaust till the drivers seat [ to help keep the heat out of the auto].
