Downpipe won't need 50', but depending on headers you may need more. Used 2 x 50' rolls to do my HKS headers (equal length) plus my downpipe, with just enough left over to lag some of my intercooler pipework where it goes past the turbo (PACE FMIC). I was told 50' was enough to do standard headers though, but if you need to do both, then you'll need two rlls anyway. I used one tin of silicone spray just to do my headers, and ran out before I could do the downpipe.

2 rolls of 50' * 2"
2 tins of paint
