isn't header wrap meant to insulate rather than dissipate?

Yeah mate. By stopping the heat from escaping through the wall of the extractor, your keeping the heat in the exhaust gas.
Which is the best way to get rid of the excess heat. While it's still in the exhaust gas....
id b careful in wrapping ur exhaust manifold......
best bet would be to HPC coat the manifold and heat sleave the rad pipe....
i have my aircon line in my itr about 1inch away from the manifold, my manifold wasnt HPC coated but i did heat sleeve the aircon line and never had any issues, my car was daily driven & tracked for over 18months and it was fine.....prob would still be fine today if no low life had pinched the car....
Yeah, i'm ceramic coating the manifold, but not heat wrapping it. The only exhaust pipe i'm wrapping as well is the dump...
I've looked at different methods for covering the rad hose. But haven't decided on anything yet.
Maybe heat wrap, with a stainless braid cover over that...??
Ok, just so that you know I'm still continuing my pursuit of rice.....
Most of my turbo setup has ben covered in the forced induction section.
But this wasn't really turbo related, so I put it back in here...

Wasn't sure about putting these on for so long.... But now that they are on, I'm very glad I did....
I like them.....
Look nice :) , Something i would expect a policeman to defect straight away tho :/
being they would slick someone pretty bad in a accident, if they hit them
