Engine Did my header

Did my header

Ok, ive been kinda busy lately workin on wrapping my header w/ thermal tape-it wasnt fun at all, but it looks actually pretty sweet now!
Go to my cardomain site to check it out in a sequential approach to what i did...http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/524151/2 just scroll down till you see it...
here's a pic so you all can see if your too lazy to look..
notice the nifty paint job! thnx to high temp paint...

you should post sound/video of your accomplishments/header/intake/exhaust

Nice job.

I think it's supposed to insulate the header, keeping the air moving and also keeping heat from escaping into the rest of the engine bay.

hope those are stainless clamps cuz they'll rust through i a couple months...

is it any cooler in the engine bay after a long drive? (best guess when opening the hood)

thnx for all the comments guys....i got the only clamps they had a home depot=so im almost positive they are stainless...and hookeduprolla, thanx to you, i got all i needed from summit racing-they are THE BEST! unbelievable customer service... as far as the temps, its a "little" cooler-not as much as i wouldve hoped...but it's the best you can do to block out the heat the header gives off...oh well, im happy

D,

Did you get the ceramic coated header? I got one too. I haven't put it on yet, but I was wondering what kind of temp you were looking at with the wraps.

its ceramic coated..thats the only one i could afford anyway-but its still pretty damn hot, not as much though as b/f, but still-you might not wanna go through the pain and misery of the wrapping process! it kills your back! unless of course you have someone else do it...

if home depot then no... I bought the same ones and they rusted within 6 months..

shit....oh well...im NOT takin those biatches off! it was near insanity trying to get the bottom clamps on!

Looks good but why didn't you tighten the clamps so they matched-like in the same position? That would have looked a lot better...But you did good!

dont be surprised if your header cracks like a month from now

it will get tooo hot and some of the welds may crack




btw nice krylon touch

Looks good man. Those clamps are going to mess up. I can just see that happening.

yeah, i'm kinda realizing i made a mistake by using those clamps, but oh well, untill they rust-then ill begin to worry..

wow that must have added like 80hp good job.

Pee-lun why you being a bully? JERK! lol j/k

no it did, seriously, i cant wait to smoke your ass!
