Did you notice any heat reduction at all with the decat pipe without insulation?
Hi,
I installed a decat pipe only and had no reduction in heat transferring to seatbox area.
I agree with Tomo, no noticeable reduction in heat transferring to seatbox area.
Thanks fellas
I'm just back from my regular quick 2000km round trip to Central Qld with the decat pipe fitted. I found that the heat build up was a little less (I could actually hold my finger on the LH front seat rail bolt for as long as I like. Normally a few seconds only after 3-4 hrs continuous driving.)
Certainly will be following others and wrap the pipe, as it's not enough on its own.
I currently have the decat pipe without the heat shield around the turbo. I want install it again but how to fix the bottom of the shield ? The decat pipe come with no bracket or fixing point for the heat shield.
Could you please post some photo of your fixing solution ?
If you have someone who does ceramic coating this will last a lot longer.
The problem with the wrap is it can cause the pipe to rust quicker when it gets a bit of moisture in there.
I think just drilled and or fitted a large U clamp when I did mine. I dont have the Puma any longer so can't help with a photo. Drover made up a mounting point for his, he may have a photoQuote:

About the wrapping, I read somewhere that it's better to paint it with high temp spray products to allow more weather resistance and lifetime.
