TORSPD: NEVR

That's what I've got, DEI 2"x30' roll, I could only find one though, thought I had two...garage is a mess. Let me know, I'm in Cypress off of Mueschke Rd.

**edit, weird double post

 

Do you believe that wrapping them will make them corode faster when exposed to weather?

I chose not to wrap the header on my motorcycle because i was afraid it would hold dirt and moisture to it and make it corode faster.

Just my thoughts. But this machine is in dirt and mud on a regular basis, unlike my truck...

Somedays, i think wrapping the header would look much cooler than that exhaust shield....especially since the brackets for it have broken due to vibration 3 different times in the last 2800 miles

 

For mud, yes, if mild anything less than 304 ss. For mudding though, I wouldn't wrap them. Dirt clogging would then destroy the product (wrap) you paid for, come cleaning time.

I don't go off road, and I don't have any exhaust components of mild steel.

 

Mo's is sounding pretty good right now.....

 

Up to you. You primarly play in the dirt and not mud, correct?

It will definitely keep engine bay temps down.

 

Interesting. I might mud on occasion...hmmmm

 

I would, but I'm going fishing at 4AM, probably be in bed by 9

I'll PM you my address if you wanna swing by and grab it.

 

I didnt catch the temps.. Just noticed the AC stopped blowing cool air, and my temp needle started to climb. got to about 3/4 when I turned the heater on. I've just never seen it climb before. its always been good no matter what the abuse. couple fans will do the trick ya think?

 

When I'm on the highway and the ambient temp gets above 88 ( back to the future reference) my temps climb from 193 tops to 208 or so but stays steady there while under load going 80 mph. If I back the speed down to 65 it'll drop to 200. That's with AC running. I've never seen my temp needle move so I wonder how hot it's gotta be before it moves. I get my temps from a scanguage.

 

I JUST finished taping up my intake with fiberglass heat reflective tape. Wish I got one of these instead, looks a lot easier. I don't know what my IAT's were but the last run of the intake pipes that pass next to the turbo were getting baked!

Going to paint and wrap my downpipe as well.

 

Mine was about a 10 minute install, including marking and cutting the hole for the MAF sensor.

Smart choice with yours as well. It is all about keep the cold where cold belongs, and hot where hot belongs.

 

@SMKYTXN , these are on order. Trickery in the install, but I will finally be rid of that nasty forward obstruction, called a blind spot.

So you won't have to look through the housing, correct? I wonder how those compare in size to the Lotus Elise mirrors. They're similar in shape.

 

Correct.

I will put them up next to the factory mirrors, for comparisons, when I receive them.

 

My first batch of Elise mirrors came in a touch to large. They might just fit on your new glass. Wanna take a look?

 

Are you referring installing your new mirrors, onto the APR frames?

Are your Elise mirrors convex and blue tinted?

 

The Elise mirrors are a stick on top, so we can just hold them up to see if they would have the right coverage.

They're the same profile as the taco mirrors; flat, aspherical, and curved down at the bottom.

 

Oh ok.

Also, these APR mirrors/frames are much smaller in size than the factory ones. Which is my complaint. This evening, I should have them in hand.

 

Hey Tor.. or anyone else in here.. do you know of anybody that has a Snout Cutter they are willing to sell? dont really want to pay full price for one to use once.

 

I think I saw one in the TRD thread, perhaps?
