Header wrap on up pipe, downpipe, and crossover
I'm sorry... but I have to add something here after reviewing the suggested recipe. I found a couple flaws that need corrected.
Exhaust wrap....
If you had success with wrapping the various exhaust components that is wonderful... However... you are doing so at great risk to your car.
When oil, or fuel meets this heated material it becomes highly flammable and is a tough fire to put out. Do a search of the GNTType List and you'll see that others experienced this problem and fortunately their cars survived it. You'll see the commentary goes against using these materials on a turbo Regal motor.
I would add a disclaimer regarding the usage of these materials on a turbo Regal motor. IMO you would be better off purchasing stainless steel headers or... sending them out to be Jet Hot coated.
Turbo selection...
A TA49 isn't a simple bolt on item (not on a Hot-Air car). I would state somewhere in the write up that modification skills are required to install anything other than a TA33. I would hate for someone to read this writeup and instantly think that new TA49 is going to fit without modifications... especially those folks on a tight budget.
