    Looks good. When I used to wrap Harley pipes, I always soaked the wrap in water. It would help with the slipping and also would shrink to the pipes as it dried. However, I never had to wrap such a complex tight design. Well done.

    Stainless steel hose clamps of various sizes where needed work just as good, or better, than the stainless steel tie wraps out there. Good job wrapping there as I had to do the same for a 1998 Dodge RAM 1500 5.9L Magnum v8 budget stainless headers from eBay. Also, Remflex 100% graphite gaskets are The Bomb & better than Fel-Pro.

    Nice neat job. When you handheld the camera it makes it hard to see what you’re doing because you moving it so jerkily, it also makes me motion sick 🤢. I just watched an ETCG video where he used the same product and he mentioned that the wrap has a sewn edge and a woven edge and it’s important you get it the right way around but you didn’t mention it and I couldn’t see if you had done it correctly. Your wedging the wrap by doing a double fold was a good idea as was doing the same on the end nearest the engine to stop it fraying. I also saw a video from the manufacturer and they make a spray you can either apply to the header or spray on the wrap after application to stop it slipping off.

    The insulated heat wrap actually works better plus it is far more cost effective. Everything altogether was about $80 for two 50' rolls, metal ties and the tool. Jet Hot coating which is the number one company is several hundreds of dollars plus shipping back and forth which isn't cheap given the size and weight. On top of all this many people have found the coating to come off prematurely. 😎

    Did you ask JBA if the wrap voids the warranty? Over my years of header installs they all had a disclosure with wrapping would void the warranty. Also on a side question I notice most of the time you are in a large warehouse of some sort. Lucky you but is that yours or have a business? I know none of my business just thought how lucky you are for such a convenience.

    Please excuse my ignorance here. I never installed headers, hell I never owner a car prior to my Ram where I could use them. My question, is it absolutely necessary to use wrapping on headers? I understand it helps with the heat transfer. Pleiades no stupid or smart comments. I’m being serious. There’s always that “know it all” that has to put someone down.

    Stock manifolds are actually made to contain a lot of heat with the cast iron compared to aftermarket headers. Anyone putting headers in a vehicle should definitely do this before install. Some might not notice any under hood temps going up depending on the vehicle and amount of driving. But over some time most will notice things getting melty or brittle from not having heat mitigation like a wrap or coating.
