how much exhaust heat wrap is needed to do the manifold and downpipe and wheres the best place to get it from.
how much of it will i need to do the manifold and downpipe though.
wouldnt imagine alot would the reno boys know this anwer?
ive asked them as well but just checking.
I've got some you can borrow, will let you know roughly how much you need.
its my 4 into 1 manifold and i have on idea if it is iron lol.

it will either be mild steel or ss steel, cast iron is the std one.
But....
25m will do nearly 2 manifolds.
i have a lot of it spare from when i did mine.
Don't forget to get the metal ties as well and apply the wrap damp as it will fit better to the pipes.
Also, if i had to do mine again i'd not wrap all the way to the end of the manifold i.e the bit that goes under the engine. Speed humps and fields at shows soon made short work of ripping the wrap and it looked like i had trapped a tesco bag under my car.
just found out my manifold is steel so thats good.
where did u get the metal ties from ste.
Ebay
they are like £2 for four.
I used 4 for each pipe and still could have done with more.
im on it this week coming.
wear gloves when doing it and something with long sleeves.
the glass fibres get all up your arms and you itch like mad for hours afterwards.
and be carefull as the metal ties can be sharp as fook
ok ok dont try and put me off lol.
