Soo I purchased a catless LP and it seems like the egine bay gets terribly hot, anyone suggest heat wrapping? I know heatsoak isn't usually a problem with such small amounts of boost, but geez it took 1+ hours to cool down to install stuff today! All opinions are welcomed

 

1hr is not so bad. The turbo heats up pretty good. I prefer to wait at least 2-3hrs, or better yet, let it sit over night and wrench the next morning.

As far a the DP. I never dealt with wraps, but I will tell you that my Ceramic coated DP holds in heat very well. I drove for over an hour when I first installed it and I was heavy on the throttle, you could pretty much hold the pipe with some thin gloves after it was parked for about 15 mins. The tech at Euro Motors was impressed.

 

I ceramic coated my catless downpipe. Just because.

 

Sorry for asking on a semi-old post, but anyways, I'm just about to get my hands on the Milltek catless downpipe and I've been on the fence on whether to heat wrap, ceramic coat or leave it as it is.

Do you think it's worth the money to do it?

 

I say yes, but it ultimately depends on your Budget restraints. I have no regrets.

 

Hi any chance you know the length of the downpipe? Trying to get a quote for ceramic quoting and was asked for the length, the part hasn't arrived in my hands so can't measure.

 

ceramic coating is a much better idea. wraps can lead to premature corrosion.

 

Ceramic coating and it looks nicer

 

Was just wondering how much it cost in the States to get your downpipe ceramic coated?

I got a quote today and it'll only cost me $40NZD ($32USD)?! Definitely coating mine!
