DIY tutorial: Thermal Wrapping

Ingredients:
1.Thermal Wrap (30meters for whole exhaust system,15meters for header or turbo manifold)
2.Clips (the more clips the more secure n firm your wrapping will be)


Tools:
1.Long nose plier
2.Gloves


Advantages:
Exhaust
1.Bring down temperature in your Engine Bay
2.Increase exhaust temperature for faster air flow velocity
3.Nicer n Tidy engine bay's looks
AIr cond. Piping
1.Minimize the engine heat interference with the air con piping which coolant flowing in it.Consistency of air con temperature

Intake Piping
1.Cooler intake air = Engine perform better and more constant.

WARNING!
This is a fibreglass based thermal wrap,It will cause itchyness when in contact with human skin.Gloves,Long sleeves and long pant are advised to be worn during the process.
_____________________________________________________________

1.Place one end of your thermal wrap perpendicular to the piping you want and hold it.


2.Wrap around it and make a 30degree turning


3.Let every wrapping overlap it by half of the thermalwrap's width. The 2nd Pic show you a wrong example without overlapping it.Yes it will save u some of the stuff but the finish product won't last long and it doesn't function cos there's a leak for heat dissipation.



4.Put your clips in...pull n Fully Tighten it (moderately pulling force cos the edge of the clip is kinda sharp)


5.Now take out ur long nose plier and really make sure ur clips is FULLY tighten!


6.Cut the the extra left over material,fold it back and fold again so that u can insert it back to the clips holder itself....after folded u may wanna hammer it abit to reassure that it's secure properly


Basically i've oredi briefly the necessary skill for this DIY...the rest of the wrapping just apply the similiar technic.Oh ya...you wanna ask me how many clips to use huh?yaya....i'll tell you more clips = more secure.But fren...agak agak lah.biggrin.gif

Finally!


I post this DIY doesn't mean i'm a pro in it...any question or doubt just post here,let's discuss!Enjoy The fun of Builiding ur own machine!

  1. welding process and a perforated counter cone specifically designed to enhance the exhaust’s performance is placed inside in order to obtain the best performance possible for a street legal exhaust. The exhaust’s muffler is reversed and is made of carbon fibre with a chromed end cap and tail pipe.
