Default exhaust wrap

i am looking to fit my new system to my classic, been looking at different heat wraps, but how much should i buy? looking to do turbo back for now, then do my manifold and up pipe at a later stage,

would 30m be enough?

Thanks, was looking at that one, so you used about 30ft for the downpipe,

so about 100ft for the whole system, or am i wasting my time with anything back from the downpipe?

well im going to do manifold and uppipe too, i think the whole system may be overkill and dam expensive.

as said i used two rolls for the downpipe but mine is a newage car

Unless you really need it I wouldnt use it......I took mine off yesterday to find the exhaust rusted to hell........Seem the wrap creates the perfect home for rust to destroy your down pipe!

possibly why people only do the downpipe.

if you want the whole lot doing coating is expensive but best

Default Magmawrap

I've just had a couple of rolls of this delivered - haven't used it yet but seems to be pretty well accepted and is well priced comparitively.
