Rally Design and Exhaust Wrap Shop are good sources for the wrap, ties or lockwire that you'll need.

Can you wrap the up-pipe without removing it? i.e. if it was on a lift or from the engine bay? I think my headers have the factory heatshields on them, can you just wrap over the heat shields or should i just leave them??
cheers
EDIT have just ordered some off the bay, 12.50 for 26feet of 2" wrap, hopefully will be enough to do the up pipe and downpipe...

Beware eBay wrap. Remember how hot everything gets. Have heard of some wrap off ebay catching fire.
Check its flammability with a lighter / match before putting it on your exhaust.

I heard that happend a few times aswell. There was no way I was going to chance it so I used DEI which was very easy to use and fairly well proven not to go on fire.

Do you know if you can wrap the up pipe without removing it from the car?
