Heat wrapping a cat (not the meow kind)
Hey guys i just got a nice 3" metal cat put into my APS cat delete pipe.
What temperatures can a cat produce at maximum, and how much would the heat wrap be able to cope with? Is it a good idea to heat wrap a cat? Thx, Chris. |

why put a cat there? you want to dump to flow best as possible, plus cats have a better efficiency further down the pipe in the correct temp range.
it'll probably get too hot right where it is.

Ceramic coat the whole dump and cat.
Cats are designed to get really hot 600 degress +

Well the wrap is on, just thought id post the results up.
The wrap is COOL IT's Thermo-Tec 2" wide wrap, i used a 15ft roll to do the cat pipe. The wrap can withstand temp's upto 1095 degree's celcius so im sure it's going to do the job. |
