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, which is especially noticeable on turbocharged cars)!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur composite material also exhibits high stiffness and compressive strength, can withstand temperatures up to nearly 150C, and has a thermal expansion coefficient very similar to aluminium to increase sealing capabilities.
