   My raceland 4-2-1 arrived today and just have a quick couple of questions please.
   
   1. What are the benefits of heat wrapping?
   2. How much would I need to wrap the raceland?
   
   Cheers

   stops heat goin out your engine will run a bit better aswell. and your temp guage wont go up as fast either due to heat been kept in the exhaust system and not been spreaded all around the engine bay heating other componants up.

   will keep your engine bay much cooler and will keep the heat in your exhaust system instead of your engine getting way to hot.

   emm i hear an eccooo! Yea m8 not only will it keep the temperature in the engine bay but because it is heat wrapped it will let the gasses flow better thus better performance. So yup for for the heat wrap even though it doesnt always look as good!
