BUMP

 

u mean heat wrap?

 

Yeah it's called Header Wrap or Heat Wrap. Most performance stores should carry this. I paid $40 for HUGE roll, I think it was 50' or something. It works, and once it heats up, it stays in place pretty well. You're supposed to secure it in-place with a safety pin, I think.

Worked magic on my turbo's downpipe when it was like an inch from my oil pan <3

 

won't it also crack your headers over time, due to all that heat?

it just traps moisture in there and it weakens the material over time.

 

Coating like these are superior to header wrap:

TRUE!

Jet-hot is a very good choice if you're serious about doing it right.

 

ok.. thanks.. but yea i wasnt really looking for the coating.. i just want something cheap and something i guess reliable ?? i am not sure what the heat wrap thing even does... i just wanted some to put it on the bottem so when i go on curbs and stuff i wont scratch the header too bad... i guess kinda like a protection...

 

cheap and reliable dont mix...sorry

You need a skid plate for that. Just slow down and angle diagonally when going over speed bumps and curb entrances to minimize scraping.

 

Heat wrap.

It's just a heat wrap. You can get it at pretty much any performance shop.
