Exhaust wrap
Where can I purchase some - I am just about to purchase a decat downpipe and understand it makes sense to wrap it prior to fitting.
Who sells it and what is the name / make?
Am I right in thinking that I will need to spray the pipe once wraped with some water repellant so it doesn't steam up when water gets on it.
Advice please.

You need to be careful with the temperature rating as standard exhaust wrap can sometimes not handle the heat from the turbo.
I used this and so far it is really good, used 3 jubilee clips to secure it then sprayed it with UHT paint from Halfords.
Mechanic that put the downpipe on was quite impressed.
