Default Heat wrap question.....

Does this stuff really mess up your manifold and other pipes?? I've heard it can promote rust and corrosion??? Any ideas? And what is the best kinda to use? Esbestos or not? planning on wraping mani/charge pipe to TB/ AC lines/partial DP/ wastegate dump.......yes, it's ness....my hood burns my hand when i touch it after driving short distances....

they cause condensation build up and rusting/corrosion...get ceramic coated stuff...there are local places that are affordable.

How efficient is ceramic coating? Can you recommend somewhere local by name?

A-1 Ceramacoat at 86th Ave. N and Seminole Blvd. Three to five days, excellent work and good prices. They do Chrome, Cast Gray and Black Satin. Chrome is good to 1300 degrees and the other two are good to 2000 degrees.

Depends on what you have done. I just had my turbo headers, crossover pipe, turbo Y pipe, turbo exhaust housing, 3" downpipe and the y pipe all the way to the mufflers done in the black for $450. Had 'em back in 3 days.
