Headers: Titanium exhaust wrap

Looks great. Seems to be a good alternative. Header blankets are overpriced anyway in my opinion.

 

Made by DEI: https://www.deipowersports.com/products/exhaust-wraps-accessories

Specifically, https://www.deipowersports.com/products/exhaust-wraps-accessories/exhaust-wrap-titanium

...Available through Summit Racing, Jeg's, Amazon, etc.

The wrap should extend past the O2 bungs and nearly to the collector flange.

NOTE: These wraps typically void warranties of the header manufacturers so check before wrapping!!!!

 

Any chance if them unwrapping or is it pretty tight? I thought about this for my S-line.

 

To each their own and it's your ride. Do what you will.

I've been an intensive automotive hobbyist/enthusiast for over 30 years. If I saw that wrap job it would say alot.

 

Looks great

 

Let us know how it works out. Can you please take some temp readings after a drive?

I had the same wrap on the manifold and down pipe from the turbo of a Toyota Supra and made a massive difference. Could almost touch with bare had after a drive. When I get a new exhaust for my Ferrari I'll be doing the same. Is a great product.

Well done. Looks better than the blankets imo. Not that you can really see them in the engine bay. Wrap is not recommended with steel pipes, something about the pipes rotting/rusting out. Can't see an issue with stainless pipes though.

 

Looks great, Serf.
Winters a great time to get these projects done!

 

I was planning on doing this with my headers but decided to use the blankets. They are thicker and have more insulating properties. I still have the DEI wraps....Maybe I will do both.

 

Did you have the flange machined???

 

If you have steel pipes you can probably ceramic coat them (cheap coating, the non-Zircotec one) them then apply the exhaust wrap.

I've been very happy with my wrapped headers. Some say wrap/blankets aren't needed, but this is a good option just to be safe.

Looking good guys, great job. It may not be necessary, but it's always nice to have some kind of heat wrap/blanket setup for extra reassurance with keeping the exhaust heat in a more confined area no matter what kind of platform or the power output.

 

I was thinking about this since I hate the look of blanket. Good job!

 

Anyone have actual temperatures before and after these installs?

 

Andrie, you can't really see the blanket, you have to really look for it.

 

I haven't measured the temp in my car with the blankets but I can tell you it is much cooler, night and day.

 

With a car known to require a change from the OE manifold to one of the aftermarket headers sold by our sponsors and the requirement to wrap or put a blanket to reduce heat in the engine compartment please explain what you meant by that.

With your 30+ years in the business what does that wrap say to you?
Trying to learn as much as possible!
