Well, turns out I did my one pipe completely wrong, looks like I'll be redoing it tomorrow and hopefully it goes a lot better. I started at the flange and not the collector, not sure what side of the wrap is where, didnt fold it over at all before my start, I pulled the entire roll through every time so I didnt measure it out, I'm pretty sure I overlapped way too much and needless to say, I'm gonna probably need more ties

MaRkiLLeR666 in my experience, heat insulating wraps do more damage than good in the long run if you live in high humidity areas, cause early rusting and corrosion, weakens the metal. I get it though, hotter gas flows better, less heat dispersion in the engine bay, seems ideal but for most geographic locations in the Southern Hemisphere it’s more than un ideal, hope that clears up my reply :)
