Hi guys,

Deciding on what to do with my manifold and the other piping regarding heat proofing.

Better to ceramic coat or Heat Wrap.

Overall i know ceramic is better but also $$$ unless i DIY (which i am looking into) anyone done this?

Heat Wrapping will look better IMO under the hood. But i heard that rust is a big killer as moisture can at the rust.

But i was thinking to spray all the metal in rust proof paint then wrap. thoughts?

thanks

Go ceramic, for sure. It does look better and it won't rust or deteriorate. Wraps break the metal down and I would never do it.

I've had factory applied ceramic flake off Hooker headers in 1 year. I've known guys running wrap on dirt track cars and it looks crappy in about a season. I've heard that wrap holds the heat between the wrap and metal and that super heats the pipe and causes fatigue. I would go with ceramic from Jett-hot or some other well known applier that offers a warranty. My failure was the silver and I think the black is more durable.
