Yep, that's the stuff.

When you wrap it, overlap each layer by half to get a double thickness.

You will enjoy the difference you are about achieve.

Fitted the de-cat pipe and center mufler eliminator today , you can feel the extra get up and go , I think its due to the turbo being able to spin up faster .Not much louder either .



Hey Drover what did you do with the turbo heat shield, did you re fit it ?
Did you re install the bracket that was bolted to the engine supporting the original Cat ?

If you have any pics can you post them up.

Hey Quigley,

mate glad to here they looked after you up here...

my Truck came from Brisbane via car dealer in Byron Bay, then up to me...the lengths we got to hey...

I hear Trinity no longer has a specific land rover machanic, they have a lot of other car brands at the dealership now...

my car had been serviced 10days before we went up the Creb Trak and half way along the Bloomfield track when we ran out of clutch fluid. Not impressed. Anyway got home Thanks to the Land Rover club of Cairns we were passing at the time. They were a fantastic help. Would you expect anything else from land rover owners??

Hey Dock,

Yeah I used all of factory heat shields.

Folded up some brackets out of aluinimum. One wrapes around the decat pipe and bolt clamp like, it acts as a brace and the second bracket, fastening to the hole closest to the inner guard, on the heat shield.

The second brace, shaped like a "s" sort of, bolts to the engine block, in one of spare threaded holes, and travel up to heat shield, turning around it covering the other two bolt holes and meeting the first bracket in the hole closest to the inner guard.

If you can make sense of that, we'll done.

Cheers

I took a couple of photo's but they are no help.

Hey Drover was there a reason that you went with the ceramic wrap rather than the glass or titanium?

That is what they had at the local auto parts store and the spec's read well.

Now it's on, it works very very well. Better that glass or titanium - don't know.

I can say that since I have fitted the ceramic wrap , it’s made a huge difference to the cabin temp , I only wrapped the De-cat pipe but it worked so well I’m now going to finish of the center muffler removal pipe. I also bought some exhaust heat shield which I will fit on the first chance I have.

Note to self, that stuff is itchy ............... use long sleeve shirt and gloves .
