well i keep melting my batterie cables near my headers… i wraped them with that exhaust wrap shit and it burned a hole right threw it where the cables are close… wtf anybody got any ideas or can i just get some extra cable and some how extend them so i can wire it a different way clear of headers? so really the question is … is it safe to buy some cable… like for car batt and cut the cable and attach extra to extend? ---

Did you wrap the manifolds or the battery cable? My vote would be to re-route them. ---

good time to move the battery to the trunk, i suppose. Relocation kits are about the same price as new header wrap. ---

they have actual firesleeving at hydraulic stores the stuff works really well. i would do everything you can to reroute everything away and still wrap it. you have a lot of under hood temps from that turbo also for battery box buy the moroso box. it is only NHRA legal box out there right now. and install kill switch too. do it once then never have to redo it again. ---
