Wrap it up in Foil!

I have seen some people wrap their air conditioner lines in aluminum foil. What is the benefit of this?

Adds mad whp yo. I did it to mines and it was like the naws yo. :iceslolan

I have never heard of anyone doing this. I don't see what it would actually do.

lol it's a ghetto way to "chrome out dem pipelines babeh"

Well first i would ask is did you see this in a pic or real life? It may be heat wrap. I put that around my AC hose beacuse of how hot it get's from the turbo. It does kida look like foil but it's not. It's like a crom fabric that can withstand heat.

I have actually seen the foil in person on a couple of different cars and yes it was aluminum foil. I beleive it would provide some shielding from the heat of the header. Don't know if it provide any benefit like cooler AC air temperature or anything like that. I just thought it was "interesting". I'm the type who is skeptical until I see it actually work.

its not just plain foil. LOL its insulated rap you can buy it at Home depot or a home air conditioning retailer. It is designed to keep the cool/heat in and the other oppistie elements out. Sultar makes it along with Honeywell. It would help a little in a car but really intended to be used in a home where there is alot of exposed copper piping.

Good for turbo

The guy's car I saw... as actually Reynold's Wrap.... LOL!!! Now, on with the actual heat wrap...is it worth the money to invest in?

BAD for TURBO anywrap is bad for turbo unless it is not flamable. Think oil/gas leak it gets absorbed by the wrap and then the turbo heats up and boom flamage. bye bye car in a fire ball. This has happened to so many people that have used the stock greddy wrap that they come with.
