thanks

 

you might aswell....if you think its going to melt some wires etc...
it looks good aswell..

i wrapped my 4branch and some of the exhaust and it took the underbonnet temp down a treat!

 

I've bought some of that stuff off that ebayer, only thing I will say is that it goes very brittle once its got warm, not sure if all wraps go like that!!!! Make sure its tied well afterwards as if you go to touch/remove the downpipe it crumbles off!!!

 

Stinks like hell the first time it heats up too

 

The cheap stuff is more likely to fall to bits tbh.

I used Thermo Tec wrap to do the manifold on a car.

Much more pricey but my mate uses it on his 800hp corvette and so far its not fallen to pieces like others I have seen.

If you look under exhaust wrap on ebay you will also find the metal ties which work very well.

When fitting it you need to make it nice and damp (I soaked it) then apply it nice and tight.

Warning though, it will feel like you have just slept with a community of fleas if you dont wear some sort of gloves

 

That explains it then! LOL!

Never knew that!!!!

Aint that the truth!!!

 

thanks lads

how much would i need just to do the downpipe of a cossie 4wd

could i get away with 4.5 meters (15ft)

 

Maybe, I used 50 x 2 foot to do 3/4's of this manifold.

 

i should be alright then

as i only need to cover just down to where it goes to chassis leg

im running a heat sheild aswell just want to ake sure i dont melt anything this time

 

Engine bay fires aren't a good thing so get it wrapped

 

I HAVE THE 1ST ONE JUST NOT FITTED YET BUT GET THE TE PACK OF TIES FOR IT AS WELL

 

i think you do need to put a fair few layers of it on to get any benefit

we need some more as it aint doing much

 

i will get teh pack of ties

tbh the one i want is the one you have to wet

as this does set quite solid ive seen

metal ties i will get aswell

just dont know how much im going to need

as if i dont need to spend 50 quid i wont, i want to get my moneys worth

 

25 foot should do it tbh although the manifold I done is hardly the same diamater as a cossy downpipe

go for 50 and dont be a tightarse, better to do things just once eh

 

i know but im going to be pissed if i buy that and only use 1/4 of it

and the fuker with teh postage costs

so to wrap my downpipe up im going to be looking near on £65

 

Hi

the only way you will get any heatwrap to last is by spraying it with hi temp silicon coating, otherwise it will just crumble when touched. If you spray the wrap it feels like a plaster cast.

15foot 2"wide does about 8" or 9" of 3inch pipe.

I've been told you be a little bit careful as some of the heatwraps have asbestos in it - not sure if its true

and we sell all of the above DEI products, Pm me if you want any prices etc.

HTH

 

if you overlap it like the instructions say to do.

I've wrapped my exhaust from turbo to tail pipe
