i never will. i've seen some exhuast wrap, though it looks cool, the pipes turn brittle really quick. lean on them to do some work, and they bend. took the wrap off, and the pipe was flaking apart. it was a gas motor, but it sticks with ya.

 

Sorry I have no pictures from the work done this weekend. Time was tight and little extras like that would have put me too far behind. I still have intentions of wrapping, and will put pictures up when I have them.

 

I'd pop for ceramic coating if it was me. Yeah it's more pricey but you don't realy have to worry about them. Got ceramic headers on my 96 dodge and like them. Either way I don't see it being a bad thing. I'll be coating my manifold, turbine housing, and maybe even the downpipe when I get ready to change a bunch of stuff out. That's just me though.

 

thats the way to go IMO as well and its not too bad $$ wise either I dont think for what you get

 

Anything you can wrap/blanket will help. There are multiple benefits, besides lower underhood temps, you lower intake charge temps, faster spool and lower EGT's. The bigger the turbo's the more pronounced the results but even stock turbo trucks there is a noticeable difference in COVERING JUST the exhaust housing, leaving the manifold and downpipe exposed. Anyone who tells you differently or that it doesn't work on a diesel more than likely hasn't done it.
