Paintwerks' Absolute Pace 427SC build thread

[hp1050]

OK so i have run a product a while ago on a Diesel race engine that coated the exhaust manifolds it was unreal at heat insulation the claim that it can reduce surface temp up to 300 Deg c is not a joke either and I managed to find the site so here you go Explosion Proof Insulation - High Tech Insulators - HTI

Thanks for the link. What a small world. I used to live in Livonia Michigan!

Do they have an agent here? I wouldn't want to freight my exhaust system to the 'states and back!

It will make it look like your 2 year old made your exhaust out of play dough.

Yeah....I read that. It only adds 3/8" to the thickness of the exhaust pipe. 3/8" is not an insignificant thickness!

Progressing steadily on the exhaust fabrication.

The guys at Motorsport Engineering are doing a fabulous job on the stainless exhaust. I wanted a better alternative to the standard corrugated stainless coolant pipes I received with the Pace kit so I had the guys at Motorsport fabricate me some mandrel bent alternatives. Really happy with the way they've turned out. They are also welding a bleed nipple to the top of the radiator which will run to the overflow tank.

Everything should be completed by the end of this week.
