What this basically means is that it becomes very difficult for the engine to heat up the manifold, which ultimately means more power for extended periods (i.e. considerably fewer heat soak issues)!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur composite material also exhibits high stiffness and compressive strength, can withstand temperatures of up to nearly 150 degrees celcius, and has a thermal expansion coefficient very similar to aluminium to increase sealing capabilities. In addition, the spacer can also withstand boosted conditions with ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarra 5.4L V8 manifold insulator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBolt pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilicone gasket maker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat about Installation?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straight forward, requiring only the removal of your inlet manifold to install the manifold insulators.
