Title: How to protect rubber pipe deck from heat
Post by: jvanzyl on February 28, 2024, 20:03
Hi all,
Does anyone have any recommendations with protecting rubber piping from exhaust pipe heat?


I've got pipe that's rated for carrying oil etc and some of it is being used to carry coolant and what to protect it from premature failure due to proximity to the exhaust.
Thanks in advance!
John

Thanks @Alex Knight - I've been comparing this to the exo racing ones:

I'm sure in over speccing this entirely! Not decided yet..

Speed Academy on YouTube use this stuff for a lot of turbo builds which sometimes see track action.

Granted, if they'd have had problems with it, it's not always given that they'd mention it, but there must be a reason they keep using it.
