wow this header wrap thing is getting rediculous......ok if you have wrap on then how will the paint on the hood get hot? the wrap is insulating the heat into the header..therefore the heat stays in the header and doesnt disipate out to the hood. even IF it gets hot with the wrap...headers glow red and paint stays on. another thing its' a daily driver so its not like he will be having an amazing amount of heat going through them..like the nascar example in that link..you're comparing cars that have 600 hp, go 200mph for HOURS at a time.. Lew is gonna drive to work and MIGHT get up to 80 for a few seconds...drive for a few minutes...sit at red lights and stop signs idleing...NOT that hot
Lew if you want wrap do it..they are comparing RACE cars to a daily driven celica -------------------- Coming in 2010 full paintjob - new wheels - modified body - new interior - engine build- marriage |
