Thanks so much, this will really help me install the heatwrap.

Thanks for taking the time to watch! Glad that this was able to help 👍

The way you preped it is an awsome approach and will make the job really easy quick with a great outcome. Thx for loading up this vid, you just save me $400 for somone else to do it.

I watched this video after I installed it. I wish I would have used the water trick it would have helped at keeping fiberglass particles attaching to my clothes. Great video thanks.

Great info and concise. Thanks!

Great video👍🏻 Thanks ✌🏻

best vid so far..

Good information Thanks

Very enteresting for me

. You have, based on what I've seen so far, the best video for wrapping headers. I have a 4into1 exhaust and based on what I've seen here, would you say that it's best to start from the collect and move up to each individual pipe leading up to the engine? I just want to make sure before I get started.

+J Quiznos (HeatGuy) Yes, you should start at the collector for all the pipes. You will see in the video on starting on all the pipes that can be wrapped individually, then wrap the collector and the last pipe as one piece if you feel comfortable doing that. If not, wrap all the pipes individually, then the collector last. If you don't start at the collector, the wrap will have a lip that can catch rocks, dirt and debris. If you have any questions about wrapping, please give our tech department a call at 800-264-9472. And thanks!

I'm gonna put this on a can am commander exhaust under the seat

cool

I have a 4-2-1 header that I'm going to wrap. How should I do it? For a Subaru flat 4.

+richmar. Yes, two 50 foot 1 inch wide titanium exhaust wraps were enough.

I was wonder that I have a pacesetter headers that was installed and used about 1 year now and I want to wrap it, is there any preparations that I have to do before wrapping the headers, like a cleaning agent or sand paper headers to clean it?

+Riden Roam we usually spray them with our Ht Silicone coating before wrapping. It seals them up and actually helps the wrap grip onto the pipe while you're installing it.

There is no prep needed. We do however spray any headers we do with our HT SIlicone hi-temp coating. It just seals the metal and actually helps the wrap grab onto the pipe.

just got a set of long tubes, do i need to remove the paint it came with considering its going to burn off? or can i wrap it with that paint on it still?

+ChubbyLoveDumpster You do not need to remove that paint. We actually paint our with our Hi-temp silicone paint before we wrap anything here.

We actually don't sell headers but any headers we wrap here, we spray. It's not going to hurt at all to leave that coating on.

whats the point of making white wraps if you have to spray them with color silicone coating? real question thanks

We make a tan and black glass fiber wrap. The tan doesn't have to be sprayed with the silicone coating. It does help the longevity of the wrap, but it isn't mandatory to spray them. The reason they are tan is that we add a vermiculite coating to the fibers and the wrap. If we didn't, they would actually be white in color. White wraps you see online for sale do not have this protective coating on the fibers.That coating allows the wrap to handle quite a bit higher temps than wraps without the vermiculite. That's actually why we recommend not soaking our wraps when installing them. Just get them damp. It could wash off some of that coating before it gets set after it's first heat cycle.

hello.. I have camaro ss 2010. how long wraps I need for headers only ?

You will need 2 - 2"x50ft rolls to do a set of V8 headers.

what about ceramic coating aaaand wrapping?

@DesignEngineering

We would recommend doing one or the other, but not both. A ceramic coating plus any wrap would hold in too much heat and could lead to metal fatigue over time.

aw man, the glass fiber dust is the worst. They stick on your body and you will scratch nonstop for 3 - 4 days.

Trick to wash off fiberglass. Take a shower as hot as possible, and scrub. The fiberglass gets into your pores, and you need to sweat it out in the shower

Do it the same way it was taught here and follow his example, WEAR GLOVES, trust me, otherwise you will be left with hundreds of micro needles in your hands and it will itchy for a couple days, so wear gloves and take a shower right after you're done.

Curious if I should go ceramic coated headers or buy painted and use this wrap, any one try both ways?

James Anderson Ceramic Coated headers will always be better. They're more effecient at keeping heat in the exhaust, they (arguably) look better, and they won't collect moisture and rust your headers over time, the way wrap will. Wrapping is a good, cheap but temporary way to keep heat under the hood down. Ceramic Coated headers will last as long as the car.

is it okay to wrap a catalytic converter? I'm getting mixed feedback, I was planning on wrapping the heat shield which is completely open on one end so figured it could still breathe but want more info.

@DesignEngineering

The wrap will not hold up on the side that is in contact with the converter. The shield side would, but the converter side would crystalize and fail. It just gets way to hot. We do have a converter shield we use for the C7 Corvettes. (The converter on the driver side of the C7 is VERY close to the oil cooler and heat soaks) It has standoffs that leave an air gap but it blocks the heat from getting to the interior or soaking into any other components. Here is a link to that product. www.designengineering.com///category/catalog/design-engineering-inc/component-specific-products/c7-corvette-catalytic-converter-

You didn't mention anything about silicon spray, what is that used for? Is it necessary?

@DesignEngineering

We use the silicone spray for two things. We usually spray a coat of it on the header before we wrap them. This helps to seal the metal and gives a good surface for the wrap to "bite" onto when wrapping them. Then after the wrap is on, we spray the wrap to seal the wrap. What that does it makes it more resistant to dirt, road grime, and improves the longevity of the wrap. It is not necessary, but very recommended for our glass fiber wraps. Here is a link to the HT spray video to check out. kzread.info/dash/bejne/YoeWx62fksrSd5c.html

You are subjecting the header to a tremendous amount of heat. Manufacturers do not advise this.
