Is there any advantages from heat rapping the manifold and pipe drone the cat to the back boxes?
Just a mate has suggested it to me

Im not sure if any real test have been done on this or if what test have been done have shown any real differences...

Will be interested to hear what you find out...

My mate has a scooby and he did it to his and says he got 1-2bhp and it's more efficent and it's not that much to do it

you have to take the manifold out mate so it is quite a thing to do so i dont know why you thought that

we are building a track car at our workshop and when rebuilding the engine we wrapped it as it helps efficiency for both the exhaust and the engine itself due to the proximity of the manifold to the other parts of the engine

but i mean unless you are having a new manifold fitted there is no point doing it as you will have to take the manifold out, wrap it, pin it in place and then refit it.

Is it worth the hassle for an extra 1-2 bhp though?!

If it is easy and cheap to do, go for it... Would be interesting to see how you get on...

if you have a new mani so you need to have it fitted then do it, does not cost much to acquire some wrapping and your putting it in anyway so go for it, when i get a janspeed i will be doing the same

That and the money I saved on the mani I can't really justfy not doing it
