irishson101 Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Hey I have seen exhaust wrap advertised, and I was wondering if it is actually effective in reducing engine compartment temps. Also, if so, would wrapping my SRI in it cool down the SRI pipe and essentially get colder air into the engine? What do you guys think about this idea?
Kegger Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Your running an SRI, which means the filter is located in the engine bay. You're already sucking in hot air, exhaust wrap isn't gonna help you at all.
DelSolSweetie Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 wrapping your header would probably have more impact then wrapping the sri
hiemsnox Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 i have my headers wrapped and it does reduce the engine temp quite a bit... atleast i think... and the headers are touchable fairly quick too... but i mostly just wrapped mine cause they are cheap ebay ones and look like crap shortly after u use em... so now they just look kinda cool
DelSolSweetie Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 other then that i dont think there is much you can do except try and use fluids to keep it cool.. i know they make a radiator fluid that guarantees to make it a lot cooler.. and royal purple oil says they keep operating temp down
Jeffkillsya Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 check out my posting on this subject. http://www.hondaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=34902&hl= I also plan on buying header wrap and wrapping my mainfold, turbo and downpipe. I have 2 sets of Inafred pictures. One before water cooling my turbo and after watercooling. I will take more after I wrap them.
