AndyD Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I would think any decent exhaust place would have it or if your lucky autobahn i know my local one (bendigo) has heaps of stuff like that as well as alot of good import spare parts.

dave1200 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I got mine from Victorian Truck exhausts on Westall road springvale. They are pretty cheap (if you pay cash) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/229987-exhaust-heat-wrap/#findComment-4043795 Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam-__- Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 question.. whats hear wrap and what does it do :S? "ACE header wrap is a weave of the finest insulating materials, and can withstand temperature of up to 600° C. Keeping exhaust heat inside exhaust pipes maintains exhaust gas velocity, helps to increase combustion chamber scavenging and increases horsepower. Header wrap can also reduce bonnet temperature as much as 80% insulating both fuel and clutch lines, while protecting mechanic from injury." Quote from that vpw site. Anyone know if you can get these wraps in black? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/229987-exhaust-heat-wrap/#findComment-4043967 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowdyr32 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Bought mine off Blackwoods. Ask for trade as you might be lucky. Got about 25metres of 25mm and 25metres of 50mm for under $100. Makes Autobarn look like a massive rip off. This was about 3 years ago though. I put it under the heatshields on the gtr manifolds and it got that hot that it turned into melted into glass in one place. Makes a massive difference to heat in engine bay.

dave1200 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I really can't remember sorry mate. I seem to remember spending around $50 but couldn't tell you how much I bought? could have been 10 metres could have been 25. If you are nearby you may as well drop in and enquire. Because it's a truck place and isn't a shop front then there's no wank factor. Take cash and you might get a discount.

West Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Super-Cheap? Anyone who have a 33gtst will know how hot that cross-over cooler pipe can get in summer. I wrapped it up with zorst heat wrap the different reading on my lazer temp reader was a major different, don't know about performance wise though .
