Greg Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I highly recommend these extractors. To save hassles later, strip the prange paint back when you get them as it just melts anyway and heat wrap them.

Sean'O Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Hey Greg, Well that’s pretty silly paint lol, I wonder why they would bother putting it on then? anyway, I’ll be getting a set of these, how would i go about getting the paint off? What are the downsides to not heat wrapping them? just a hotter engine bay or will other things go wrong? I am still a bit hesitant about heat wrapping mine because I heard that you can do damage too them when they don't cool down quick enough. Have you come across any of these problems? ohh and what heat wrap did you use? Thanks mate, Regards, Sean'O Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/140067-eoi-headersextractors-group-buy/page/2/#findComment-2635930 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eug Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 i didnt really think heat was such a big issue with headers, obviously the engine bay is a little warmer, and you might get a cool orange glow if you give it enough stick - but since headers deal with exhaust gases and the gases are constantly being expelled i cant see any sort of large significant gain. although someone can come tell me otherwise, i'd like to know as well.

Traditimeour Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 http://www.hpcoatings.com/industries/auto.aspx#HI http://www.jet-hot.com.au/products.htm here is some sites for ceramic coating, with a bit of info don't know about heat wrap Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/140067-eoi-headersextractors-group-buy/page/2/#findComment-2636700 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean'O Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Hmm, well that all looks very pretty but, it sounds very expensive and in my case a bit unnecessary, I only have a RB20DE, and its not a dragster lol, so I don't think I will need the heat protection presuming that the extra heat by just having them in there won't damage anything during everyday driving. However I would like the corrosion protection to make them last a bit longer, wouldn't the caliper paint (as suggested above) be sufficient here? What we need here is an opinion by somebody who installs exhausts, or someone who has had this particular unit for a while. I'm still assuming that the level of heat protection etc is dependant upon the style of driving your car goes through, if you just drive to work and back I would guess that ceramic coating is a bit extreme, but if you do track work or something, maybe its worth it. Again I’m just prating on, we really need some guidance here, Regards, Sean'O Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/140067-eoi-headersextractors-group-buy/page/2/#findComment-2636871 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 The bottom of my intake pipe started to melt from the high temperatures. This could have caused a fire and ultimate destruction of engine. This, and the power gains, is why I recommend to heat wrap them. Having said this there are plenty of people using them un heat wrapped without dramas The orange paint is just to stop them rusting while they're in the shop etc. so they look good. You could use a blowtorch to get the paint off, or paint stripper, or just heat wrap over it, won't be the end of the world.
