Aftermarket *tubular manifold* heatshield options?
#6
Which manifold, and did you ask the manufacturer if they had anything available?

its a tomikoa mani if that makes a difference based on size

I am glad there are other people interested in a heat shield.
I hate the exhaust wrap. It looks ugly. It soaks up water and causes corrosion on your manifold. I prefer some thing more aesthetically pleasing.
Hopefully some one will step up to the plate and make something that aesthetically pleasing and fully functional.

I prefer to wrap and seal my mani. and a head shieald over the mani + a fire wall heatshiels are always [necessary] added bonuses

These guys claims and up to a 33% reduction in surface temps. and up to 50c reduction in under the hood temps.
I looked at other coatings on the internet and most were claiming 20%-30% reduction in surface temp. I did see some wild claims of 70% reduction in heat, which i am skeptical to believe.
I can't find any good credible test results for heat shielding, ceramic coating and exhaust wrap. If anyone can find a good test results please post it up.
30% reduction in surface temp is pretty good. I do think the more heat protection the better. The important factor is to reduce the radiation temperature to the other components in the engine. A ceramic coating will reduce the temperature of the manifold but a heat shield will reduce the temperature of the other components by shielding off heat radiation.

Think this one is probably the nicest out there..

It's around $300, which doesn't seem too bad for a titanium heatshield.

I had wrapped the manifold prior to install. I know people like to coat them which can certainly help too but I wrapped. The manifold, under race condition, burned the wrap off over a season. Really, so that it was hanging in pieces that I would peel off (with gloves when cool).
We are now using two solutions:
- wrap your cam sensor and boost sensor and lines with reflective heat tape.
- use MAP's Heat shield for tubular manifolds.
The MAP shield bolts up easily, is very nicely made and the price is reasonable ($185). You can find them here www.maperformance.com.
