do you need heat wrap
 
i found this guy on ebay selling end of roll heat wrap cheap aswell so i thought nothing to loose . well it arrived today 24ft long and 2" wide and 10mm thick good quality i think all for £12.50 inc delivery. so if you need any here is the link eBay My World - senwod666 when you look him up click on items for sale

You pay for the good stuff, the cheap stuff doesn't last long before it starts falling apart, the good stuff is normally 40+ quid per roll.

I got my newage done at GRD in Woking. As above you pay for the good stuff but it is an effective mod IMO.
It smells for the first few drives!!! Anything that cools the engine has got to be good right?

iv used cheap stuff before and its still on a year later and i used metal ties to keep the wrap on my downpipe and headers

good mod, reduces heat soak and helps exhaust gases flow better :thumb:

Be aware that if you wrap the DP, een the good stuff will come off after a few years of getting wet then super hot etc.....

Gotta get mine re-done.

It smells a bit like burned chip fat when it gets hot the first few times lol! :D

mine didnt come off and it was cheap wrap still in place after near 2 years on the down pipe and a year on the headers

I did say a few years!!! :)

It will come off I'm afraid, just a matter of time!

Best way is to ceramic coat, but that costs ££
