    exhaust wrap

    This question is mainly aimed towards the turbo guys, or anyone else who has experience with this.

    I want to wrap my exhaust manifolds, but am not sure who to go with. There is a company called ThermoTec which seems to specialize in heat-shielding, but I would like some other opinions.

    Thanks!

    from what i've heard, Jet Hot ceramic coating is as effective and less likely to cause rust.

        I'm using ThermoTec, and it works great, after turning off the car i can touch the downpipe..for 1 or 2 secs without getting burned :)

          I also have thermo-tec heat wrap on my down pipe, and it does work good at keeping the heat in the pipe. I've done the same thing, being able to my hand on the down pipe right after driving it.

              How much is in a box?
