Coolant hose heat sheild question.
I have an equal length manifold that's heating up my stock coolant hose (looking to wrap my coolant hose). Ive scene several solutions for wrapping the coolant hose. I was leaning towards a reflective material sleeve that would cover the hose. I was wondering what brand most people are using and the size they are purchasing. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

You should look into a different radiator hose. If you've seen the Mishimoto radiator kits, they use a straight hose that clears upgraded manifolds a lot more/better. EvoM did a review on them, the link is still on the home page. I'm sure you could get the hose from them, or I know that CBRD radiators use these straight hoses too.
I'm running an ETS equal length manifold, with stock radiator and hoses. I know it does come kinda close and get it hot. I would do something like this before wrapping the manifold. I hear that it traps moisture in the wrapping, so it could crack or damage the manifold over time.

At this point I do not want to wrap my manifold. I will be removing the turbo and manifold soon to get it ceramic coated. I'm looking for a temporary fix for my radiator hose (I.E reflective sleeve.) I was wondering what size people were purchasing and what brand and where from.
