Default How much wrap to do JUST headers?

How much wrap will I need for just the standard headers on my classic? 1"x50'? 2"x50'? 1"x100'? And anyone got any pictures of wrapped headers? Cheers!

And presumably it's ok to overwrap two pipes together like that then? I had always assumed every individual pipe had to be wrapped separately, but I suppose in that case the pipes are too close together?

On O/E headers with the lugs cut off and dressed, using DEI 2"X50', headers and aftermarket up-pipe takes one roll.
The DEI has stitching 6mm or so from the edge so you get the overlap right.
Read and follow the instructions.
Subject to header material, double wrapping may lead to problems.
