The advert is fully accurate. If anyone doubts the efficacy of this product, you could try burning a piece of heatwrap as bought from say Tweeks and compare that to burning a piece of Extreme wrap.

thanks

Thermallogic are local to us, we get it from them, it's a thermallogic product, it will be the same price from us.

With my MAP gas blowtorch, I can melt any other exhaust wrap, which is nearly all glass based. The Extreme wrap remains untouched and mostly flexible. I've used it on the headers of my race car, it remains intact.

Would it be possible to wrap the exhaust housing of a turbo in this, or am I likely to create a sticky mess?

I'm having problems fitting my original heat shields back on (too large hands!)

I pinched some heatshield material off Paul to replace the OEM shield and make an easily removable turbo blanket.
It's going onto VF turbo which I understood didn't like closely fitting turbo wrap blankets.

The heatshield is two dimpled layers of presumably thin stainless steel with a ceramic cloth filling. Its easy to trim and bend into a heat shield shape. Holes can be drilled in it so that the shield can be fixed in place using the OEM attachment points.

Liz/Paul - can you refresh me what the stuff is?

The stuff that Butty is referring to is a Nimbus product, I think it's Nimbus Lite GX2 or something, it should be on their website. I got it from tweeks.

it looks more like this:
Nimbus Motorsport – Cirrus GIIIx Heat Shield
Double skinned with an insert. Paul mentioned it cost about £100 a sheet.

I've done a shield for the exhaust manifold cross pipe and my Christmas project is to make a turbo blanket that looks like:

Ian - I may do but need to get some different headers first.

I am exploring options at the moment from GT Spec gen II and gen III to APS to RCM... so many to choose from
