Re: Can a cat hood melt??

I always take the insulation out and then yah i just heat tape the hood around the vents where the stock insulation had reflective material.

Re: Can a cat hood melt??

yes a cat hood can melt,,,,as can any hood...heat tape the heck out of it and check clearances , even with heat tape, it can still melt,, i can show you a pic of one that the guy never checked,,, rmember its heat tape not miracle tape...

Re: Can a cat hood melt??

Yes. Use the heat tape. I have ran mine for two years with a SLP set up with no melting
