i cant find the thread, plug boot heat insulation

spinn · Apr 9, 2005

can anyone recommend a good insulation or wrap to keep my plug boots(5,6) from melting. they are very close to my headers?

there was a thread not to long ago where people discussed a wrap, or insulation to guard against header heat. can someone bump it to the front. something about 180 boots to clear headers, but i cant find it.b i melted 2 90deg. boots, oops.

i think ghetto recommended a part number.

boots

I have never melted a boot that did not actually touch the header. I don't know what brand wire you are using. I have melted MSD boots. I prefer Taylor.

Header Insulation

I think the insulation that you have seen in previous threads has been the type you wrap around the headers. It comes on a roll, and you wrap it round the tubes. The added byproduct, besides reduced heat in the engine bay, is that they also help to increase HP by keeping the heat in the exhaust, by not letting it cool off so quickly.

I have used (still use) that type of insulation cover on my plug wires. I bought both DEI from Summit and found them sold in pairs at my local Napa ($20) pair, if memory serves correct. Ed.

Are you running standard plugs or short plugs that you can get when you run headers?
