Quote: anyway, i thought the external HPC coating radiated heat quicker so something hot 'lost' heat faster? dunno - out of my price bracket anyway as thermal wrap's only about $50 a roll. charles. aiui, it acts as a thermal barrier coating (TBC) in that it decreases absorbed heat, and has a large thermal gradient across it, ie it transfers heat slowly thru it, and the result is that the item that is coates inside and out is actually cooler, and transfers less heat to the underbonnet area. the inside surface of the coating, in contact with the gas, will be at the same temp as the gas, as would plain metal pipe, but the temp on the outside of a coated pipe would be much less than a metal pipe. so with wrap, you are trying to mask a veyr hot pipe, but with the coating, the pipe itself is not as hot... i think for the extra $$, the coating is the way to go if you want the item to last longer.. if it is a temporary measure (to test things out perhaps) then wrap is the way to go, but i wouldn't expect wrap to last very long.... i'll see soon!!
