My SP log manifold is real close to my AC lines, and the dumptube is going to be touching the lines. The downpipe is also basically touching the charge piping should i wrap the mani/downpipe/dumptube?

 

Yes I would wrap the downpipe to keep the heat away from the charge pipes.

 

Any more opinions on wrapping?

 

I wrapped my manifold, downpipe, AC lines, oil feed line, oil return line and got a turbo blanket for the turbo.

Heat wrap = good idea

 

heatwrap ftw!

 

The only issue with heat wrap, is it basically will speed up the the life longevity of a manifold, since your trapping in the heat. It also will trap moisture in, which is never good, but its more of the manifold not being able to breath.

 

I used the heat wrap and silicone coating on my manifold and just heat wrap on my downpipe and dumptube.

It really helps with underhood temps.

I think it's definately worth it. I'll take all the heat reduction I can get. lol

I don't know about places that snow but I live in FLA, I rocked the heat wrap for 8 months on my exhaust, I took it off to re-wrap it, no rust.
