Do You Need to Wrap Downpipe Mk7 Review

04-21-201803:50 PM

Has anyone used a heat wrap on aftermarket DP's? I accept miltek DP'due south that I am getting ready to install and I an because using something like this. Is this a adept idea or a waste product of time?

Not sure if it helps reduce the heat in the motel or not but I tin can tell you that the smell from them is very noticeable and doesn't go abroad.
I've had mine in for over a month and I tin can still smell the wrap when I come up to a stop.

I posted a like thread in the general C7 section. I also reached out to some of my friends and found that rut wrap is a good solution for surfaces that may come in contact with people or like surfaces that won't do well with the heat, but the wrap does nil in terms of reducing heat. Information technology volition achieve temp a picayune slower, possibly, but wrap and pipes will all achieve exhaust temp shortly. Ceramic coatings that are practical to the inner surface of the pipes are the merely effective rut reducing method. Can just be done to tubes that can undergo the prep process: no catalytics. I am going AMS downs with cats so they are going in with no wrap and cannot be coated.

Hmm are you lot certain virtually those temps reaching inner temps after awhile? Then that should be after a LONG time! I have my catless pipes thermal coated and recently heat shielded. I forgot the numbers but saw i Big temp driblet (aforementioned for my headers and turbo'southward).

Merely trying to understand this statement. Why wouldn't a ceramic coating be beneficial if applied on the outside of the down-pipes? It'due south still a thermal coating that has different temps on either side of it.. I've washed this on downwards-pipes with other platforms with good results.. I know some folks that ceramic glaze the pipes and also employ oestrus wrap, seems logical to me that it would reduce heat, but maybe you've experienced otherwise.. Allow u.s.a. know...

As mentioned to a higher place, the heat shield production with aid with the transfer of estrus to any nearby components. Keeping as much heat equally possible away from other components too as the firewall is never a bad thing. Information technology'south a minor price and piece of cake to install before y'all install the downpipes. A few years ago I had my downpipe ceramic coated as well every bit wrapped it with a product chosen Lavawrap and it really helped go along heat downwards under the hood. Too came in handy if working on the auto when information technology was hot that should I brush confronting what would unremarkably be a red-hot DP I didn't get 1st degree burns...

Thank you for the replys. Installing the wrap this weekend.

What kind of wrap?
I might want to suggest you go for a decent insulation + heatshield wrap (i used armor shield products). Scrap pricey but gives a much better result then those estrus wraps.

I replied below. I clicked the incorrect reply type.

Yup, i noticed, no trouble. I estimate the heat wrap is good enough, everything is meliorate then nothing ;).
*make sure yous wear gloves (fibers hurt ;) ). Expert luck!

I did not say a ceramic coating practical to the outside of the pipes is beneficial. The but reason it is washed is that the coatings await really good and are, actually, very durable, thus they make a dandy terminate. Coating practical to the INNER surfaces of a pipe are beneficial. That blanket helps proceed the rut in the exhaust and moving. Less estrus is absorbed into the pipage.

I considered oestrus wrapping my downpipes in this application due to location. Heat wrap is helpful when a pipe is in a known "contact" area: ie there is airflow over it, only is worthless in this, or whatsoever hot-5, application. Lack of airflow in the area of the pipes will allow both piping and heat wrap to attain same temp as un-wrapped pipe. Fifty-fifty with air flow, heat wrap gets extremely hot, so my trusted mech told me not to wrap the DPs, as information technology would only hold heat under the hood longer.

I can tell yous this... the wrap helps with estrus very well. It does suck to brush confronting the wrap tho. Lot of them are fiberglass based.
