Carbon Wrapped Diffuser

[Tom]

Hi All,

If I get my diffuser carbon wrapped will I have any heat issues with my exhaust?

Is there anything else I should consider?

Thanks in advance!

Cup.

You should be ok, the diffuser has a heat shield in it already.

 

[Tom]

Thanks for the reply! Will the heat from the exhaust tips be a problem?

 

[Fernandez]

Can't see it being a problem as they touch plastic already. The tips don't even touch the exhaust so all they are subjected to is some warm exhaust gas that has already exited the pipe.

Cheers Fernandez!

henderson, there's a local place to me called "Deadly Decals" who do carbon wraps. They don't laquer it after they've wrapped it, but it's still a very nice finish.

www.deadlydecals.com

Jase told me carbondelight.co.uk are good, but a bit far afield for me.

I am currently trying to get hold of Deadly Decals to find out if this is even realistic... Don't see why not though?

^^ not for £800!

If I had something wrapped (considering my cup spoiler atm) it would have to be glossy carbon wrap, the matt stuff looks crap imo!

 

[Tom]

Yeah, that £800 is gloss coated.

I was thinking of calling them to see how much they would charge to wrap mine, rather than supplying a whole new one.

The one at £800 is genuine carbon, hence the price, not wrapped.

Oh! Damn... Wonder what the weight difference is...
