SunplusTrade 2" x 50' Black Exhaust Heat Wrap Roll for Motorcycle Fiberglass Heat Shield Tape with Stainless Ties

I used this on my refresh job on an engine built in the 2000's with that old style gold color wrap. It worked very well. I used the water technique to keep the dust down and stretch the wrap easily around the corners. After wrapping I used the new style silicone coating I found on Amazon to protect the wrap as much as possible and it looked even better than uncoated with that flat black look. Time will tell how this wrap holds up but I have had it for a few months and it still looks awesome!

Very bad quality and color fades to white very fast.

I installed this on a 2007 Subaru STI with a catless downpipe. My mission was to try to decrease under hood temps and keep the heat in the downpipe/hotside of the turbo. This is the first time I've heat wrapped anything. This product looks like the big brand name versions, but at an affordable price. Since there weren't alot of small bends, I decided to go with the 2in version. The material seemed very thick, but durable. Before installing, I watched a couple of videos on how others did it. First, soak the roll in water for 10 mins (or until the bubbles are gone). This will eliminate majority of the fiberglass getting everywhere! Wear thick latex gloves at the least, and suggest wearing long sleeves and possibly pants. I started off at the top of the downpipe, fastened the first couple of wraps with a metal zip tie, made sure there was enough clearance for the bottom bolt. Make sure to pull the wrap tight. At the end, I tucked the end of the wrap into itself, then used a zip tie. I also used 2 zip ties in the middle. I stopped just half way of the pipe, the portion that is exposed outside of the engine bay to limit the wrap being soaked incase of rain. I didn't use any coating and let it dry for a day before driving the car. The biggest pain was untangling the wrap since the wrap stayed in the water bucket while wrapping the propped up downpipe. After 1-2 days of short driving, the minimal white smoke stopped. Not worried about corrosion, this is not a daily driven vehicle, its rarely driven in rain, and the downpipe is high quality (Invidia). So far, the wrap has stayed on and no issues.
