im thinking of getting it done after what i saw last night.
i was out in the car then had a look at the exhaust manifold after a bit of fun,it was glowing red like a red light bulb,

my manifold and downpipe are wrapped with heat wrap but theres still too much heat coming from them, so im thinking of getting them coated.
they recon i will see a drop of 33% ambient heat, which is usually 30degrees in under bonnet temps.
i will still heat wrap it as well and he recons it will drop the temps by 50% in this combo.
has any1 used them?
do you think its worth the money?
is it as good as they say?

Cool, will get it done then.
I think the drop in ambient temp outweighs the internal increase for my car as there's no airflow around the engine at all.
I'm going to look into getting as much heat out and cold air in over winter.
Going to make a heatshielded airbox, got an idea for a turbo heatshield to, and loads of ducting, more fans .....
