It can over time heat treat the metal and crack it. Just got a dump jet coated, $185 inc freight. Can't beat that really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reallity is you can cover the pipe or cover the stuff you want to keep cool. The stuff I had applied to the pipe was the standard stuff and as I said, pretty cheap really. There was a 2000'c option too as well as a heap of finishes for a bit more money. Other thing I saw at motorEx was a kit of wrinkled stainless they you can use to make your own stock looking heat sheilding.I'm planning a beanie on the turbine and the coated dump. Will see if the stock cover fits back on with a bit of a mod. Edited 29/07/14 11:51 AM by FiftyOne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hate the look of wrap it looks pretty DIY'ish so best thing is to get it coated probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
