Hi guys,

Just bought a GGR tubular manifold for my FRS and going to wrap it to keep temps down as much as poss.

Just wanted opinions on best stuff to use and if you have any tips on wrapping. Heard before about wetting the wrap or dampening it.

Cheers

 

I wrapped my manifold and exhaust while the wrap is dry, i'd recommend doing it outside as it makes a big mess on the living roomo floor and her indoors will not be happy with you

Have a look at this thread for more info/photos

Sod taking it home, she'll go mental

Cheers for the link mate, going to get some ordered up this afternoon

 

I used some titanium wrap a few times, wet it so the fibres are easier to handle and also when it dries, it'll shrink and tighten a bit more.

helps drop temps and also turbo spool up time

 

deffo wet it ut dont soak it

as said it will dry nice and tight cos it will stretch when wet

dont do it dry it may pull apart

 

Get Some sealer stuff sprayed on it after to keep it in one piece.. Merlin motorsport do the spray.

 

you cn get the spray from rapid ford also for a good price

and the stainless steel straps

 

as said really, wet it, the fibres will fall all over the place if you don't and they're really itchy.
i personally wouldn't wrap a manifold to avoid it cracking if the heat builds up too much.

 

If it's a properly made manifold, or a standard cast (not fucked) manifold it won't crack!
