Please don't bother telling me not to use header wrap. I am using the header wrap on my wife's car. For the turbo downpipe on an Audi TT.

I didn't purhcase the DEI or ThermoTec brand of paint because I thought the local parts store sold it. They don't. Without the DEI or thermotec paint fo me to choose from. All I can find is various high temp paint: 500,1000,1500, and I think 2000 degree paints.

Can I use high temp paint or is the DEI or ThermoTec paint required?

 

The spray can high temp paint will all burn off the headers.

Check out the POR 20. http://www.por15.com/

 

I'm not painting the headers. I am painting the wrap that is going to be on the turbo downpipe.

 

the pipe isn't gonna be over 2000 degrees man. my HIGHLY modded TSI AWD EGT doesn't get that hot on the manifold which is the hottest part on the exhaust
