I Donated bucko3the7man Posted April 25, 2013 I Donated Share Posted April 25, 2013 So why did you decide to wrap the headers? I'm curious because there is no warranty this way and if something were to happen you would be up a creek with a broken paddle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated Too sigmafour Posted April 25, 2013 Author I Donated Too Share Posted April 25, 2013 what use is the warranty anyway if you really consider the time/cost/aggravation involved with waiting and paying for shipping etc vs paying for some self remedy. Broken header under any circumstance requires rapid repair, I'd get it welded immediately > warranty of no interest to me. Headers were wrapped very loosely with the wrap barely 1/4" overlapping. This protects enough and keeps the headers just a bit hotter. The results were there obviously so if the wrap helped with those numbers and I believe they helped in their small %, enough heat still escapes to minimize the risk of cracking - I don't believe it's enough of a concern with the way the wrap was done - I also wrapped dry with the titanium wrap not installed wet or tight.

Nrw Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Always wrap or coat headers. Keeping the heat in there helps with spool up time/consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated bucko3the7man Posted April 25, 2013 I Donated Share Posted April 25, 2013 Gotcha, that was truly a noob question having not known anything about upgrading headers. I plan on wrapping my downpipe when I buy it for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated Too sigmafour Posted April 25, 2013 Author I Donated Too Share Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) I wrapped my downpipe because it is catted and it stank. Getting it hotter I hoped would fix the problem (2015: It didn't! The methanol makes the car smell like a Baghdad chemical factory)Â Secondary reason was the melted cv boot problem people complain about... And boy it melted it really good!!

robitrice Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 any update with your meth flow solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated Too sigmafour Posted April 26, 2013 Author I Donated Too Share Posted April 26, 2013 (edited) funny thing about Meth... the line popped off - seems the car can survive without Meth, at least I can say this, it has survived without meth, this time. TOTALLY need the flow gauge to tell you when this happens and I lost 1 Gallon of meth in seconds with an open line!  AEM are replacing the sensor - I have an RMA and the part is on its way back. Once I get a working flow gauge then I can reconnect the fail safe because obviously it was shutting down the car every time thinking there was no flow. 2015 Update... NO the car was not okay! This methanol failure caused the start of a lot of issues... Edited January 11, 2016 by sigmafour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Donated Too sigmafour Posted April 27, 2013 Author I Donated Too Share Posted April 27, 2013 don't know what you mean? I have barely exceeded 64mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated bucko3the7man Posted April 27, 2013 I Donated Share Posted April 27, 2013 Yeah but what about up to 64mph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated Too sigmafour Posted April 27, 2013 Author I Donated Too Share Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) Occasionally I may hit 65 but otherwise I have no idea what you're talking about. Edited January 11, 2016 by sigmafour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spc2125 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 don't know what you mean? I have barely exceeded 64mph. On side streets that are posted limits of 35mph.... If your trying to show off, that kind of street racing is not welcome on this forum. But nonetheless.... I want a ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Donated Too sigmafour Posted April 27, 2013 Author I Donated Too Share Posted April 27, 2013 Showing off? I think not. I only ever go the posted speed limit and of course we were talking about highway speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
