Its not actually that close thb. The pd ones were worse. I have seen them melt totally on trackdays. I dont have the car anymore unluckily.

Nice. My mate has the GT26something (GT25 fitment with GT28 internals) and his manifold does the same. The two primaries feeding into that secondary cause it to go really hot. Hope the person that bought your car has stuck a heatshield on that because it will start to discolour the bonnet. Super temps!!

a gt25 with 28 internals is just a hybrid gt25. the two into one is the only downside of that manifold, athough it didnt stop high power and torque figures. the person who bought the car bought it standard (almost) it can be bad putting a heat shield on it because the tubes expand under heat and need the freedom to move. a heat sheld stops this and has been know to cause the primary welds to crack of heatsheld lugs to snap off.

what i did was the underside of the bonnet was covered in foil tape to reflect the heat. i was going to fit a bonnet vent for cooling but never got round to it. other than that you can wrap them but i thought that looked naff or do what i was going to to, get it ceramic coated, although these still glow. even on the PD ones. the bonnet used to get so hot you could cook an egg on it

@oTzSkiiLZz Clueless muppet. It's a Ford Zetec-E engine, with a Ford turbo charged setup.
