Basically what the topic says. I have a supercharged tC and I just installed my Alphawerks headers with the Draxas exhaust. I had them coated with Jet-hot sterling, but my question is: Is it enough to prevent heatsoaking the SC and/or causing blown seals?

Has anyone fabricated a heat-shield for use with Headers? If so - I WANT PICS! lol

 

Same question applies, but here's a pic:

 

have u tried testing it with a thermometer ? somebody with stock trd shield, aftermarket header and coating like you.

that coat looks too nice to be wrapped.

 

that's the problem - tough to find ANYONE in my area that has the SC with a stock exhaust mfd, plus I don't have a temp probe - so I'm hoping someone else has done the work

 

I like your coating by the way.

 

tried the infrared temp's ?

 

Nope. How accurate is it, and where do you get one? (Still, i'd need to find someone who has a SC around here and has the factory exhaust mfd.... but hey, this is a start!)

 

no idea how accurate it is but ive seen it in home depot n sears.

exhaust probe would only measure the exhaust gas itself tho.

 

I don't think anyone else has JetHot coating, although some have their headers ceramic coated. You should have gone with the MC-15. It's good for 1700 degrees and insolates the best out oif them all, at least according to their technicians. It's what I have being done.

 

I personally went with a thermotec blanket heatsheild. Then at shows or events I can take it off and you see the sexy header. Then on the road she gets wrapped up.

 

you have pics of the blanket?

i have the catalog but the pix is for v type

 

I can take a pic. It was large, had to cut it down. Just looks like aluminum on one side and white fiberglass matt on the other. It is not for engine dress that is for sure, but it is totally functional and serves it's purpose.

 

Not my cup of tea but it might help in what you're looking into. I think it's still in the development stages and I'm not sure if you can order individual pieces or not...

Maybe since this is in production though means I'm BSing just like before

Edit: fixed the link

 

mega retro engine bay yo!

 

yeah... its an interesting mod lol... but it has the head shield fre-fabbed so i dunno... might help might not lol

 

cool - now you can get that so you can keep as much heat as possible in your engine bay and have it stick there w/ all that metal. WOOOHOOOO!!!

 

yeah iwas pointing him in particular toards the heat shield... rest of it is retarded...

 

I can try to "borrow" one of those laser guns a work....They are expensive (at least that's what the manager tell us ) I'll drive about 10 miles home-work and take it, but i'll be like 10 minutes to get a hold of the gun.... Where exactly you guys want me to check the temperature?

 

icenine where u live in bergen county? mayb we could check it out im still runnin the stock exhaust.

 

dang thats like a sauna!

not my cup of tea as said above. probly look better on a jeep.
