Hey guys, this maybe long ridiculous shot but anyone ever thought of using fire blanket as a header/exhaust wrap?? I would of thought that they are the same material and instead of spending $55 a roll, you could get 1.2m x 1.2m blanket for $12.



Summer is coming up and I can definitely feel that my turbo is laggier and make less power due to heat soak/hot engine bay.

TIA for any opinion/suggestions.

 

I dunno man.. Not sure what its made of or how it would look.. Im thinking that it will melt.. The turbo mani a down pipe get really hot.. I know I wouldnt put it on my exhaust mani or my turbo though. But...
Like you said, its only 12$
Try it..
In for results.

 

hahhaha i'm scared of my ***** that it will catch fire lol. wanting if anybody tried this fail or success

 

alternative to header wrap = exhaust manifold heat shield.
header wrap is the only thing i can think of.

i say its a no-go with the fire blanket, what would you use to tie it tightly?

 

Wouldn't metal zip ties be ok?

 

hmmm i think its a blankets. it not made to be rap around anything on a car. dont be cheap do it right man.

going cheap = EPIC FAILURE

 

go ahead and pick up two so you can put yourself out when the car torches up haha

jp. its fire resistant though right? fire is pretty hot. just sayin. i would look into it, i think it would work.

 

try it and let us know what happens...
