Got an eye on the CS Mazdaspeed Exhaust Manifold for your Mazdaspeed 3 or Speed6 or already have one? Want a way to further increase turbo spool and help keep engine bay temps down? You came to the right place because the CS Exhaust Manifold Blanket was made for this exact reason and gives you more power potential to further increase the efficiency of your setup. Continue on to see the details on the CS Exhaust Manifold Blanket and how it performs.
The most important aspect of any heat blanket is the material that it is made out of. The CorkSport Exhaust Manifold Blanket utilizes an outer material made of volcanic lava rock that is manufactured into a fabric that has a rated direct contact temperature of 1800°F and can withstand radiant heat temperatures up to 2500°F. The blanket also features an internal layer of calcium magnesium silicate wool that works as an insulator that can withstand continuous temperatures of 1832°F and peak temperatures of 2300°F. This inner insulating layer is held in with high temp stainless steel mesh to further improve durability and makes sure the CS Exhaust Manifold Blanket can hold up in the most demanding situations.
Now, for the design of the CS Exhaust Manifold Blanket, we focused on fitment and ease of installation. These two areas are crucial because it determines how good the exhaust manifold blanket will perform. The CS Exhaust Manifold Blanket was designed so that it covers the exhaust manifold completely while providing a tight fit to provide the best insulation performance. We have also designed a separate blanket for the elbow that comes off of the manifold to further reduce the amount of heat loss before the turbo. For installation, the blanket comes equipped with stainless steel springs that hold the blanket tight to the manifold so the installation of the blanket is quick and can be easily installed on your Mazda. This also applies to the removal of the blanket so you don’t have to bother with undoing wire if you ever need to take off the blanket to access the manifold.
Once the CS Turbo Blanket is installed, how does it help the performance and efficiency of your turbo setup? The basic idea is that since less heat is allowed to escape from the exhaust manifold before the turbo, the heat and energy are instead transferred into the exhaust turbine which reduces the time it takes to spool the turbo, making it more efficient. It also helps keep the compressor side of the turbo cooler since the heat is being retained in the exhaust system and away from the compressor or top mount intercooler which leads to colder boost air temps and the potential for more power. Another bonus of containing the heat from the exhaust manifold is that other nearby components in the engine bay also benefit from the lower operating temperatures seen when using the blanket and can help lengthen their lifespan.
If you already have a CorkSport Exhaust Manifold for your MazdaSpeed or are looking to pick one up, the CS Exhaust Manifold Blanket is a great addition if you want to get even more performance out of your setup.
