Gtr Frontpipes Heatshield ?

[justin911]

hey ppls

ive got me some hks frontpipes im about to install, just wondering though if i need to get heat wrap for them ? i tried using the stock frontpipes heatshield but that doesnt fit. should i just slap them on and not worry about any heatshield type thing ??

what do most ppl do ?

thanks

sif not consult me on such a minuscule topic...what is this world coming to

I say do it, that heat wrap stuff if done properly works really well. One of the big ground air supply machines at work has that stuff wrapped round all the exhaust pipes and the pipe of the turbo is only just warm when it's going full pelt and less heat in the engine bay is always a good thing! I wouldn't think twice about doing it on mine if I had it all out. Anyway I know you've got plenty of moulah to waste

to late, couldnt be stuffed waiting for people to reply so i just slapped em on

bloody getting the gaskets to defy gravity was an issue.

turn car upside and gravity will work for you not against you.

little smear of CRC Maniseal is your friend

holds them in place nicely

i heat wrapped my Trust front pipes and passenger floor still gets unbearably hot.

I'm considering wrapping mine... seems like a good idea...

if you wrap it make sure it's done properly.

you may risk areas heating an cooling at different rates if you miss places, ultimately could crack welds etc
