Yes I would say so, it will last longer than heat wrap which can fall apart.

 

It looks alot better and In testing has shown it can work better than heat wrap.

 

The only down side is its alot more money.

 

Yeah thats a good point! It does nice but saying that I think heat wrap can look equally nice if done properly. I suppose its all down to what ones budget will allow.

Heat wrap can look good if you use the DEI Titanium stuff, the normal heat wrap does not last and falls apart.

I Find the normal (not titanium) heat wrap to be deterring mostly.

Most cars we have as projects see it rot away and actually affects some of the stainless steel sometimes.

Coatings work better all of the time.

 

We used Zircotec on our Exhaust manifold (white) and wrinkle black on the cam covers.

Makes it a hell of alot more durable and heat resistant.

Fitting for the brake lines, all stainless steel

Not sure if this has been done on a supra before but we are using quick release fittings for the rear brakes. Jay will be swapping over to NA brakes to put drag wheels on and these fittings mean that you can disconnect the brake line with out loosing fluid or needing to bleed the brakes.

That is a rudy good idea!! How much were the quick release fittings? Would make changing over brakes more appealing that way lol

It is a good idea, they use them in motorsport as well for same reason.

 

The only draw back is the price lol... I don't think you want to know how much lol

We use them fittings on track cars when the dampers have remote resorvoirs, means you can remove the dampers without having to remove the resovoirs too, like you say, nice idea but the price isn't exactly cheap!
