okay imma buy a DNP exhaust manifold, is DNP a good brand?well should i buy the exhaust wrap for it,my engine bay gets pretty hot,or does the wrap not even help,let me know
DNP is fine. I'd go with a port and jet coat from buschurs if you're going to stay with that turbo.

yea a guy i know a guy that's pushing over 600hp on a dnp manifold and it runs just fine! exhaust wrap is always a good idea cause it does actually work... i was actually looking at a punishment racing manifold myself, but those run about $775 :-/

i dont think it really matters what wrap you use... it all basically does the same thing

just go to a parts store for the wrap. I believe we got ours at advanced auto. They had the wrap and the metal bands to hold the wrap on

yes it is or at least i think so
I keep hearing bad stuff about heat wrap. A good way to ruin your header.

haven't heard anything bad about it, but please enlighten us on what so we know what might happen. and of course the wrapping isn't hard just takes time and patience and is a billion times easier to do when the manifold is off the car, and it does help a whole lot on cooling your whole engine bay. and yeah either advanced or autozone have it, and it's cheap and every brand is the same thing cuz they all have the same function in the end
If ANY condensation finds its way in, it eats away at the manifold. I'd go with jet coat myself.
