So after Peterborough run last Sunday i developed a nasty rattle. It took some time to investigate as to removed my diffuser i have to remove my rear bumper s:( :( s:( Not such bad news as i gave me a chance to replace some very old and rust bolts and give things abit of a clean down.
Cutting a long story short ive removed all my exhaust heat shields as alot of the nut and bolts were falling apart. Ive rubbed the cat heat shield down and given it a few coats of black high temp paint and once ive got some new bolts ill refit that. Im also going to keep the manifold heatshield (i think), I do want to heat wrap the small section from the manifold to the cat (where that bloody crappy heatshield causes everyone problems) Mine had started to rattle something rotten even with 2 jubilee clips securely around it.
Im guessing there is good and bad heat wrap. What should i go for? Id quite like it to be black also. There seems to be loads of people selling it on ebay but im not sure whats good and bad
