Greddy kit owners! Has your heat wrap fell off?

Had my car on the lift last night doing an oil change and saw that the wrap had all fell off! Left a yellow type residue? I guesss I need to get something better? Any ideas?


-Ryan

p.s. the oil line wrap is fine because I used wire to tie it down with.

I found a piece of my heat wrap that goes across from the turbo on the car, on the ground the other day. Not sure what i'm going to use in its place yet. :D

While your at it buy the tubing cover for the air conditioner line. Then you will have cold air.

yeah, same problem here, i was thining of going way out and cutting a portion of the floor out to have it jet hot coated and then welded back in, don't know if that would acheive the desired effect, not to mention having the flintstone mobile for a bit.

For people who are going to purchase in the future would it make sense to have the inside of the manifold and other high temp areas ceramic coated on the inside??

I've always heard it wasn't a good idea to do that right before the cat. I.E. if you get headers coated not to coat the y-pipe, i may be wrong though.
