This has probably been asked before but search provides no permenant answers
Has anybody Heat wrapped the first half of there Miltek exhaust? or even there downpipes? is it worth doing?? what are the benefits?
I did this on my Previous car as the downpipe caused so much heat that it was soaking into the top mount intercooler. Now im aware that it might not be a neccessity to heat wrap the exhuast but surely maintaining the heat within the exhuast will allow gasses to flow much faster as well as retaining heat
Someone please correct me if im wrong.
this wrap looks like it will perform well

Heat wrap
RE: Heat wrap
I'd personally heat wrap or ceramic coat the dp's it can only be benificial to reduce temps within the engine bay, and as you have said keeping the heat within the exhaust helps aid the flow of gasses. Also food for thought, what about heat blankets for the turbos? They are supposed to vastly improve engine bay temps.
RE: Heat wrap
Might put the car on axel stands and have an attemt at wraping what i can.
Will it have any negative affects? ??

RE: Heat wrap
Have you actually tried wrapping an exhaust yourself? It's right royal PITA and I would only do it if there was something that needed protecting from the heat rather than trying to reduce engine bay temps as the only benefit.

RE: Heat wrap
^^ i have wrapped before and yes i admit its sh*t to do, but thought id give it a shot purely to retain heat in the exhuast to allow the gas to flow faster. dont think i will be able to get to the downpipes tho.

RE: Heat wrap
does it reduce noise at all?
If I wrapped a tubular mani, downpipe and sime of teh front pipe on my car would it be a bit quieter?

RE: Heat wrap
Jc im unsure to weather it would make it quiter on these cars. in fact it might make it slightly louder if the gases are flowing quicker... (someone correct me if im wrong please)
best thing to do is to wrap the manifolds, and downpipes as this will help on engine bay area temps, anything after that its up to you.
anyone got any pics of heat wrap on an rs4 exhuast system????
