Wrapping my turbo DownPipe?

[ekindbest]

Hey guys I wants to find out if wrapping my turbo downpipe a good idea(there's no heat shield on it, I wrapped the manifold already)? will it be too much heat to the cat? or just leave it be.

Its a good idea from a performance standpoint and from a reducing underhood temps standpoint but will cause accelerated rusting. I advise getting it all ceramic coated if you want to wrap it.

No it won't hurt your cat - rich AFs and misfire will though

I'm with Boosted. I say ceramic coat.

I sprayed them with high heat silicone coating, will it help preventing rust?

[Jesse IL]

For a time. Those spray-on coatings usually don't last. If you really want a long-lasting coating, you should get the part media blasted and ceramic coated.

I'm getting my race header on my s2k jet hot coated, seems to be the way to go with s2k guys.

What about jet hot coating + heat wrap... overkill?

jethot is a pretty low quality thermal coating. If you plan to keep the car for a while I would step up to Polydyn or Swain
