Hi all, have got some new headers to put on the scoob and am about to buy some dei heat wrap but just wondered how much i would need?

Any help would be great thanks.

 

I'm not sure exactly how much, but get more than you need as any gaps in the heat wrap can cause a high concentration of heat, which can lead to fires!

 

Your going to need a couple of rolls, and don't buy the cheap £10 stuff, you need the good £30 stuff or your just going to be removing your manifold 3 months down the line and replacing the heat wrap with the decent stuff anyway.

Ps, gloves are recommended

 

Thanks for the replies, yes i will get the good stuff including some stainless ties, am looking at the 50 foot rolls of dei wrap, do you think i will need 2 rolls?
thanks.

 

I bought a 2"x100ft roll of DEI wrap that allowed me to wrap each runner individually and a whole 3" downpipe!

 

and i recommend lock wire & lockwire pliers instead of stainless ties

 

Thanks for your reply. I have got the 100' DEI heatwrap as I am going to do my downpipe as well while I am at it!

Thanks again.

Looks like I am busy at the weekend!

 

Rcm told me 80ft required for headers.

 

What width is best for headers 2"?

 

2" wrap for headers, 80ft long. Sealed with the silicone high temp sealing spray. Good luck.

 

like above, use locking wire to help hold it in place
