    last quote I had from HPC 6 months ago for HiPerCoat Extreme was $66/ft + $25 freight. This is their highest temp rated coating.

    keep hearing race cars and drag cars.... were talking landy engines here..

    a std landy engine doesnt put out enough heat to cause any sort of reaction in mild steel exhaust pipe.... they just rust away....

    I would have thought that a turbo diesel with the fuelling turned up would have higher EGT's than a lot of track cars ??
    If I'm pushing 700*C pre turbo, that's approx. 550*C after it. Wrap that temp in with a silica based wrap and
    That's why I've been reluctant to use it.

    under the wrap after 70000 klms and about 2 years.

    area that was unwrapped

    exhaust with wrapping

    at edge of wrapping, would have thought most damage would be here, no sign of anything untoward.

    for bigger scale pics...

    no sign of anything untoward at all after about 70000 klms including bush and beach work, sustained long haul with 1 ton load and day to day short haul....

    like i said, cant see the problem.....

    fair enough Inc. Looks like it's worked fine for you.
    BTW, did you seal the wrap with any silicone based sealer, (Thermo-Tec used to recommend this for their wrap for long term use) or just use the bare wrap ?
    As I said before, I've had several boxes of wrap sitting here for five years unused. You might have convinced me to give it a chance.
