Dump Pipe Temperature

[SargeRX8]

Anyone know approximately how hot a dump pipe would get? I want to heat wrap my dump pipe. We've got some shit suitable for about 1000f(500ish degrees). Would this be sufficient? 280rwkw and should have a safeish tune on it.

Cheers

How hard do you drive it and how long? Do you participate in drift/track days? On boost for long periods of time?

Ceramic Coat, FTW!

Inside it will be over 500 degrees under full throttle. Outside, probably not. Maybe if it was stainless steel. Mild steel should isolate it better.

I don't drift. I don't do burn outs. I don't do track days. Just once in a while the quick hit boost. People say I drive the car too slow I just appreciate the car and the power is there when I need it. Only thing is I'm getting abit of heat in the cabin/driver footwell. One shop quoted me $100 for 10m of heat wrap. Would this shit melt if its passes its limit or what happens?

Just use something along these lines and you will be fine:

Get the high temp ceramic version and it will be fine, I have been running it for over a year. Get it online, less than half that price.

Your dump isn't mild is it? It will rust badly unless you paint/ceramic coat it.

There are other options too, I also run this stuff on the firewall...

I Dont know what it's made of but it's. 1 pecs bellmouth and most of it is rusted to the shit. That thig looks alright but there are alot of wires on the firewall panel so I don't k ow how well it will stick. I you have an r33 can you get pix?

[scotty nm35]

I dont have a 33, on my stagea there are no wires.

Just hi-temp paint the dump, then wrap it with the hi-temp ceramic wrap, then paint it again if you want. That should stop it rusting further.

going to sound stupid butttttt. Do you turn your climate control to circulating before you turn it off? If not it blows warm air to the footwells

My car has 280rwkw and it doesnt need wrap and any of that crap

I always keep it so that green light is on. When ever its off, the car is noticeably wamer inside(bringing air from outside that is).

Looks like spray then wrap!
