High temp coated stainless.
They are also getting wrapped before install.

Looks sweet Swanny!! I hope it fits! :D

John said he's going to punch in the throat next time he see's you. ;).
What, you think we'd just make it on a stand? Of course it fits.
Thanks for all the comments all. All of my 5 minute lunch is done, back to work.

Jet-Hot? Are you going to dyno your car before & after the heat wrapping by chance?

The words "before install" tell me no. Why would he bother?

I have seen 16hp Briggs engines show horsepower drops on a dyno after adding heat wrap/heat. It'd be interesting to see what happens on a much larger scale.

I"d rather keep my engine bay from catching fire. I don't possibly see how not wrapping turbo manifolds will help the situation. They are spray painted with a DEI high temp paint, we did not have time to send them out for jet hot. The entire engine bay is treated with DEI, yes there are pretty parts, but function over form on this car.

However, I'd love to get a link to that study, as it would be an interesting read.

It was testing we did at school 2 years ago on the engine for our 1/4 scale tractor so there's no paper. I don't even know where the graphs are anymore, but those horsepower drops were the reason Flowmaster increased the piping size on the exhaust systems Kevin McClelland has fabricated for us. If I run across them I'll let you know.
