Wrapping your pipe....

[SASHO91]

... :angelnot:

Seriously though, to those who have wrapped their Y-pipes with exhaust wrap, how much do you remember using? Obviously there will be some variances but just to get a good ballpark, I figured I'd ask. I've allready have 2- 2''x50 rolls i.e 100ft....

Turbo up pipe, which is about as long as a stock downpiipe, I used about 50 feet if I recal correctly.





Thats how it turned out...

 

[somedude_001]

on my turbo car I have found that it has to be replaced a couple times a year because it gets full of crap and looses effectiveness.

I just wrapped my steering rack and it took a 1"x15' tape. And thats only the middle of the rack. It would take a good amount for the Y.

Did you coat the wrap Alex? Are you breaking it in properly?

 

[1995SHO9]

I didn't know that you had to break it in. Rap it on and go our for a beat run

You'll love the smell...

I would reccomend NOT wrapping your y-pipe, especially if you daily drive your car. Road grit will get in between the fibers, and your wrap will act like sandpaper and remove any coating that is on your y-pipe, and/or increase the likelyhood of corrosion.

I was probably only going to wrap from under the starter then up to turbo ******. I am also going to fab up a shield for the ABS area.
Then of course the downpipe will be wrapped.

Dude is that a Black & Mild?


Sorry I had to............

I concur with Tim

its better to protect the areas from the heat, instead of trying to keep the heat in the pipe...... by ways of shields, proper routing, etc...

your pipes will last longer

how many OEM turbo setups do you see running heat wrap?

probably ZERO, i've never seen one

how many OEM turbo setups do you see running all kinds of shields?

all of them!

I think I see where you're going with this Josh, but you're runnin catless right? If so, check a price on Jet-Hot. It may be a more expensive alternative, but will last 5x as long.

I wouldn't mind coating the y-pipe. However, I allready have 2 2''x50' rolls of heat wrap, as well as an assortment of other DEI products and even more on the way.

My plan was to coat the y-pipe/downpipe with some VHT ceramic paint, just to give the pipes a decent starting place. Then wrapping them, and applying the sealant. You can constantly reapply the sealant, to add longevity to the wrap, or so they say...
