i was thinking on wrapping my header to minimize the heat in the engine bay but since the country where the car is is a tropical country there is a lot of condensation at nights and is a humid country will it be a good idea to wrap it? i am thinking to wrap a toda header but dont want to wrap it and a while after see that i f*cked my expensive investment
what do u guys think anyone liviing in the same weather conditions? any input will be appreciated

 

a high temp coating.

I concur. If you want to reduce engine bay temperatures, I'd suggest having the header coated inside and out with a quality high-temp coating. This will also have the benefit of protecting the header from the relatively harsh environment that you described.

 

Jet-Hot comes to mind.

 

People fail to realize that the material used to wrap exhaust manifolds will suck in and hold moisture when the manifold is cold. Even on a quality stainless steel piece, eventually the surface will break down and rust will move in.

In an N/A engine combustion tempuratures are relatively low to say, a boosted engine. As an example, my old turbo Type-R was reading 1600 degrees F on my EGT gauge at full boost. The manifold was getting hot enough to cook the paint on my hood. Wrapping the manifold in that situation was critical.

Why do you want to wrap it? To cut down on intake tempuratures? I agree with everyone else on getting it coated. That will also seal out any moisture from touching the metal.

 

exactly is cause i got the passwords CF intake and is a short ram intake i dont want it to be so hot, in the country i am i dont think they offer the coating havent seen anyone coating their headers, wonder if there is a kind of spray paint that i can do it myself or something that i can do...

Regardless of where you are, most of the time you need to send it out. I'm in the USA and still need to ship mine to the high temp coater and then they ship it back.

Just find one of the big name places and ask how they take care of it.

 

thats whys i like SMSP headers comes with jet hot
