N80Jamie Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Should have my new exhaust tommorow and i'm just wanted to know if this heat wrap will be ok to use on it? Clickyy Planning on buying 3 of them so 30m of the stuff. Will this be enough to rap a Japspeed cat back? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukEp Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 looks good mate thats what i used but make sure you wet it before you apply and wear gloves and long sleaves Quote Link to post Share on other sites
N80Jamie Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 looks good mate thats what i used but make sure you wet it before you apply and wear gloves and long sleavesYe i had a quick read up on how to put it on so shouldn't have any issues Good shout on gloves and long sleeves, i probably wouldn't of done that haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 ^Same as what Luke said, I used this stuff too. Fibreglass is a bitch if it gets in your hands/clothes lolI think I used 20M for my decat & Japspeed system Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ktl Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 i'v heard wraping the system is bad, is this true ? I got 20m sitting here but didnt fancy doing it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 It won't do any harm so why not? Keep heat in so faster flow of gases, even if it is minimal, every little may help and for the sake of £10 why not Besides mine pops and bangs nicely now (need someone to follow me to see if I'm flaming yet lol) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fibreglass is a bitch if it gets in your hands/clothes lolI think I used 20M for my decat & Japspeed systemdid you wrap 50% over the last piece of wrap all the way through? I heard 20m wouldnt be enough for a Japspeed system? i'v heard wraping the system is bad, is this true ? I got 20m sitting here but didnt fancy doing it.Mixed reviews on doing it on manifolds due to issues with them cracking but no problems with wrapping the exhaust system. I've read that it makes them more likely to pop and spit the odd flame which sold me the idea haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Seems a really good price for 30m of the stuff!Ah no I think you might be right, think I used 30M for turbo back!Thought as much Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iamlegend Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 why wet the heat wrap when appyling it?did you not find them metal cable ties were shit thow they dont even lock correctly be so much better if they worked exactly like the plastic ones work... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Because it's really slippery, and you have to wrap it tight Quote Link to post Share on other sites
N80Jamie Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 Did any of you coat your heat wrap in heat protective spray stuff? lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Nope, no point! Funny thing is though it's still clean! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
N80Jamie Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 Sound's good to me! Less money to spend Final question - Considering i'll be getting 3 10m rolls, when one roll finishes and say your half way up a part of pipework, how do you apply the next bit of wrap correctly? And do you just put the steel ties on each point where you started wrapping or started a new roll? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nazzurro19 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 i put the wraps every half a meter sort of thing lol , but yeah i wrapped my fmic pipe and used them metal tie things i tryed to tighten em up and then they were stil fairly loose so i just used the left over bit like a tin of sardines and rolled it up to make it tighter then snapped it off and it held lolim guna use jubilee clips on the exhaust heat wrap i reckon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
