[QUOTE="tigershark1976, post: 1738927, member: 37108"] o.k, i have did it using aluminium foil but with some modification... i use the left over fiber cloth (look more like fiber cotton, damn itchy after handle it) to wrap the extractor 1st, then use some thin metal wire to tighten it, then use aluminium foil to wrap over again so that my fiber cloth wont fly all over... then use the thin metal wire to tighten the alluminium foil again... The result? I didnt do dyno test, my butt dyno cant feel anything, maybe the increamental of power is too small... but due to some installation problem after installing, i was suprise that i can actually take out the extractor with bare hand... usually after started the car for even 1~2 mins, the extractor will be damn hot, the skin can stick on the extractor... but with 2 layers of wrapping... i can hold it on my hand and feel warm only, that shows that the heat insulation is working... However, the engine warm up much faster, I'm driving vios and in the morning, i used to take quite some time to wait for the blue light indicator (cold engine) to go off b4 i drive, now, it took less than 1/2 of the time to warm up... then when i stop the car, and park for 1~2 hrs in multistorey carpark, then go back and drive again... the car engine still warm, the blue light doesnt turn up like usual... and i dun need to re-warm up the car again and straight away drive off... so with all these indication, it shows that the wrapping works, at least i know that it is containing the heat in the extractor.... however, i should measure the engine bay tempbefore and after this mod...now install liao too lazy to take out again...
