Default Exhaust Wrap

Are the different makes such as Cool It Thermo -Tec (in the Burtons Catalgue) and DEI (in the Demon Tweeks one) better than each other or do they perform the same?

I am looking to wrap my tubular manifold (to keep engine bay temps down) and would like some recommendations to which is better.

Thanks

Andy

I wrapped my manifold inwrap bought from;

www.agriemach.com

Not had any issues with in in a couple of years of it being on, and they were a fair bit cheaper than the more popular alternatives

This what we have done on our Aston race car after deciding to take the heat proof wrapping off
