If your intake temps are rising, you don't have a cold air intake. Cold air intakes pull from "outside" the engine bay where the engine bay heat can't get to it. Just thought I'd point that out 😉
Obviously, I don't how you wrapped your headers as I was not there. It looks just like the same wrap I used. I wrapped mine w/fiberglass almost 4 years ago and it has held up very well. Even through plug changes, starter changes, unbolting and re-bolting the headers. And the temp only went up a few degrees (less than 5 degrees) while the engine compartment is much much cooler now. I mean it's like a night and day difference. I think your engine compartment should've cooled down a lot too. Not sure why u had trouble with that. I have heard that it is possible over wrap the headers causing internal engine heat complications. That's why I chose the fiberglass over the ceramic wrap. But your engine compartment heating up even a little is a mystery to me. Let alone going through the roof. But then again - I'm not that smart. LOL I'm glad you found something you like now.
Thanks, great info. I had been thinking of something like that even wrapping my headers that way
I want to wrap my motorcycle exhaust.
I’m expecting the ceramic wrap will last many years, over six or seven considering the pipe are out in the open and not enclosed in an engine compartment.
Lots of motorcycles have this wrap and not too many people have negative things to say. In fact, they say it helps a lot.
We will see.
Thanks, my headers were supposed to be coated but this could be the answer to lowering my under hood temps.
on a turbo it does change but a natural asp motor it helps the engine bay from heat but will run the same, ,rust can happen on both,
Got to spray them with high temp paint. Then wrap em.
I glad to watch this
I would research Ceramic spray coatings. VHT & Cerakote seem to be the names that come up while doing searching online! Take care brother!
I live in the desert after March it basically makes driving a high horsepower car unbearable without proper heat management
that was interesting . i got some American racing headers for my 1969 javelin ......that was cool you mentioned Header Armor didnt mess with their warranty....crap let me relisten LOL
Hmm...why not ceramic coating?
Why not both
My Dad spent 20 years building a blown Anglia (671 Dyers on a 400 SMC), he wrapped his first set of custom built Sanderson headers and NEVER drove the car in the rain. Zero racing or Dyno, just shows on the weekends and blew a hole in pass set just a couple years after installing/driving. If you value your vehicle/equipment in any way, don't do it. Just my biased opinion. 😂🤷♂️
In florida we CAN test summer drives and winter drives all in the same day... 😂
Same with Texas
how much did you buy for both of your headers
Shit removing my turbo every year is a deal breaker. And it's water cooled
Jet hot will coat shorty headers for about $250.
Regular ol Alum foil. Don't even need ties half the time.
Whaaaaaat ? Aluminum foil, I’d think that would break down and fall off real quick. How does it work for you, and do you wrap your auto exhaust or motorcycle exhaust ?
@@ginoasci2876 yep, I prefer 2 or so layers of the regular name brand stuff. Works better on cars because you don’t have the wind blowing on it, but some fence wire or ties will hold it. It has a air gap between the foil and pipe so the pipes don’t get as hot and neither the foil.
What size did you use?
18”x24”x1/2”(thick)
I say if it's easy to change your headers, get it! But headers are a hard job 90% of the time. The most annoying job ever
Hy good info
clean youre engine bay
