Wrapping my Exhaust Header + Updates Project Civic EK Season 3 Begins

[@aeiracing]

I’m happy you guys decided to go this route and re think the channel plans in this way. You guys will be much happier and it will reflect on your channel!

[@upfactoryracing4148]

Oh man Travis that is awesome! Congratulations on the sponsors. Hey I am happy to watch anytime you want to post don't lose the fun in it.

[@RefineMovement]

Thanks for the support !

[@95P74]

Glad to see you ended up wrapping the header. It made a huge difference in underhood temps for me and I bet it'll help you even more with track use. Don't worry about rust, it's a stainless steel header. I had my wrap on for over 3 years with no issues.

[@RefineMovement]

Thanks for the suggestion it worked well at the track!

[@philmitchell9552]

Stainless steel DOES rust. Not as quickly as normal steel but it does go eventually

[@josiahfiander6254]

Glad to hear you have figured out a potential solution to the burnout. I love seeing what you guys are doing with your cars and would rather see less of it, or less frequently, than none.

[@chinouyang2292]

Yes keep going, slowing down the channel to make better content. Just don't stop coming up with new videos

[@urignorance2922]

Just wandered the length of wrap necessary I'm about to do the exact same thing to the exact same motor🎉

[@louissabatini6745]

I have a 99 civic ex vtec, looks just like yours, thanks for the videos I to have 4-1 headers and didn't think I could wrap them

[@grantd007grantd]

Really cool to hear about the sponsorships! Honed is an invaluable asset to have on your team. I’m sure you’ve talked with them enough but it’s important to follow their recommendations on spring rates and other car setup. The KTuned K2 coilovers don’t have the proper 2:1 f/r spring bias that the RCA’s are designed to have. I’m sure that can be addressed with them however. Keep it up!

[@RefineMovement]

Honed gave me great recommendations for spring rates and I tried to get as close as I could to them when I order the Ktuned coils. I’ll go over it before the install

[@jamesreid4738]

Clean wrap job! Love seeing progress made on the EK

[@gettho2649]

Wow i will do that on my 1996 honda civic..watching from Philippines

[@codysmith3857]

Congratulations buddy on your sponsors and sponsorships

[@mongerz4732]

Congrats on the sponsor...great job...all I ask is maybe make the videos a bit longer with more details. Less videos but better quality is always better.

[@tedsommer]

I look forward to all the awesome new content!

[@roronoa7vector]

Awesome video one more time! Keep it up and thanks!

[@ianbotts3702]

Thanks I need to get off my lazy ass and go adjust my valves now. Been putting it off like a month or two.

[@dwainecameron1325]

The diagram you showed for remove the bolts in order from the head, is that a book? If so where can I purchase one?

[@javierrodriguezfernandez9750]

Awesome video awesome Chanel please keep it up guys, quick question which its the brand name of this header?

[@javierrodriguezfernandez9750]

Tks in advance

[@rodrigoberne7556]

Hey man how much do you use to wrap the header 4x1? 10m or 15m?

[@mrsquid7438]

You need to come and more contents lol

[@chrsst916]

Lol your car looks more and more like mine even the titanium wrap

[@alanhale4379]

Track I.D? 👌

[@pour-g8677]

does wrap eliminate raspy civic?

[@jarodwhiting3676]

Very nice!

[@louissabatini6745]

How did you get the sponsorship

[@uncleshrek32]

Maybe some gold wrap on the intake to keep heat off it. Keep the videos coming! I just picked up the exact car as a project and your videos are helpful.

[@5PYZ3R]

just adding DEI Reflectogold is the brand that people use

[@Brilow777]

where did u get the torque specs, and the adjustment of the valves? i have an d16z6 and need the torques of everything and the specs if u can help me i'll aprecciate it

Is it necessary to have it on top dead center....?

Yes

[@hondad-series9265]

Next time make sure you spray it with water resistant paint and fire temp over 2,000 degrees

[@jaythesizzler1691]

What’s the point in wrapping it ?

[@jordanb2149]

Reduce heat radiated from the headers keeping overall engine bay temps down, same reason why stock headers have the big heat shield to keep temps from melting or getting surrounding wires and radiator from heating up more than they should

[@carlosrsd734]

Instead of those ugly zip ties I used copper wire. The color blends in more with the wrap and is skinnier and smaller

[@blinkfelipe]

What Oil specs u use?

[@RefineMovement]

Valvoline synthetic 5W30

[@yudelvyfuentes5607]

👌🏁🏁🏁

[@charleywaynehinkle6358]

these things will mess up your header they hold moisture against the metal for a minimum return. its not worth it unless you dont mind rusting a hole in your exhaust.

[@95P74]

Rust shouldn't be an issue since it's stainless steel. Using an infrared thermometer, the unwrapped header on my d16z6 was around 650-670°F when warmed up. After wrapping they stayed between 250-280°F. That's a huge difference, especially when it sits so close to the radiator and oil pan.

[@charleywaynehinkle6358]

@@95P74 but i weakens the the header due to excessive heat there is a reason they dont cover wraps under warranty no matter what matetial it destroys them. if they worked nascar would still use them but it destroyed the headers and wasnt worth the rewards.

[@95P74]

@@charleywaynehinkle6358 It's a stainless steel header off ebay for a d-series. They're $40-$50 tops, I'm pretty sure he'll get his moneys worth out of them. I had mine wrapped for 3 years and it was still fine when I sold it 3 years later. A Civic header isn't going to see anywhere near the heat and abuse a nascar set would, they're going 200mph for hours at a time lol.

@@95P74 ah i didnt watch the video yet if i would have known he bought a cheap ass header i wouldnt have commented. yeah 50 dollar header go nuts.

[@streetcivic09]

What brand header is that you’re currently using? Any issues out of it?

[@RefineMovement]

It’s an eBay header that someone gave me can’t remember the brand but it’s 4 into one. No major issues but it can be difficult to mate up to the exhaust pipe

[@streetcivic09]

I’ve finally found a new greddy d series header I’m looking at I was looking at a Cheap on for my daily
