[QUOTE="Zcat7, post: 509335, member: 14023"] I have noticed, since fitting my 1776 into my crossover and monitoring oil temps, just how hot the rear tin gets. I have an EMPI header mated to a Bugpack box and even when I had the 1641 engine it got hot enough to fade the paint on the rear valance (it's a shite paint job to be fair...). I was wondering about insulating the headers from the surrounding tin. I don't really want to use exhaust wrap as that will just hold the heat in the heads so I was wondering if anyone has used a reflective foil/insulation type solution attached to the tin and valance to keep the heat from soaking into the engine bay?
