I don’t have any pics but I used zircotec coating, is expensive but more efficient, neater and lasts longer. Heat wrap can go brittle and can cause issues if fitted badly with gaps. Go black if you use zircotec imo.

Heat wrapped my downpipe before install, not sure if it made any difference though.
Was mainly because anti lag was scorching my heatsheild

If you don’t mind me asking what was the cost on your manifold buddy?

I think we paid £275 but that was probably 18 months ago. Looks like it's gone up a tenner since then

That price included collection and return so not a bad deal at all in my opinion

The finish doesn’t change in my experience but does get stained a little if you drop oil on other colours. Admittedly my car has only done about 1000 miles at best on it.

As above, finish hasn't changed after about 1500 miles. Gonna get the turbine housing done soon too

i did mine and a few people said it may prematurely wear the turbo but I think it was following Rods old comments that turbo blankets kill turbos...that could be old turbo tech and his car saw extremes?
