when did we ask for all this?

 

Not you, but other people.

Chris

PUNK!

 

looks like a little bandaid for the exhaust.

 

thanx

 

Hey kev,
what is that for? Does it help it from heating up or something like that?

 

it prevents his exhaust from getting scratched up if he goes over a non-import friendly speed bump.

 

Does it make a BIG difference in noise levels without the resonator? I was thinking about doing mine too, but didn’t know what to expect. Thanks.

does it stop clanking noise? or smell when it gets hot.. it looks like it smells like those bandaids..

 

Keving where "g" =


PUNK!

 

looks good

you wrapped the enire exhaust


I thought you were only did the y-pipe...



anyhow, header wrap is for keeping the exhaust temperature up... hotter exhaust gas = greater exhaust velocity = better flow.

 

It muffles clanking noise because it won't be metal on metal. Only my y pipe wrapping smells after driving hard....... smells like baked cookies (I'm serious).


Nauman answered why I wrapped it.


Thanks for helping mingo.


Ran out of exhaust wrap, so part of the b pipe isn't wrapped.


Chris = gay... not ghey :0

 

focker...

 

How much did you have to buy and what was the price?

 

ummmmmm, I dont think anybody asked for this...

How did you wrap the whole exhaust without cutting the wrap into smaller pieces. When i wrapped my y-pipe I could not just go around in circles, the header wrap was rolled up to big so I had to cut and make it so I could fit it.

 

Get 50 ft of 2" wrap. You can find them at Summit Racing.

 

Either take the y pipe off or be patient.

It'll be easier if you took the pipe off.

 

dont you get hungry while driving?

 

After I get out of the car and smell it... yes.

 

Did you only clamp it at the starting and ending points of the exhaust?? Thank you that is all..

 

<<hotter exhaust gas = greater exhaust velocity = better flow.>>
But...Hotter Exhaust = Crystallization = Cracked Pipes!!!

I don't know a whole lot about materials and their susceptibility to heat, but do you think Stainless Steel would crack like that? I would think that you need a lot of heat for a really long time for that to happen

 

oooh, I guess that would be easier......

 

So,should I wrap my stock exhaust too?

 

sure...

 

Yup. It'll stay.

 

Not really hotter... just keeping the temperature more stable as it flows throught the piping.

 

you're wercom... i still shoulda wrapped the first section first.. it had a "cool" down patch //////=====////// i think the muffler woulda looked "cute" if it was wrapped too. wrap it all up like a mummy

 

MORE BANDAIDS?????

 

how you manage to take those pictures? in the middle of the street again? damn your car sure is low. do you do that little "ricer drive over bump" move? the zig zag... know what im saying?

 

Yeah, I'll need a little more to finish the whole thing off (part of the b pipe).

 

Nope... no "ricer drive over bump" coming from me, but I do go over high ones at an angle.

Took the pics while the car was parked near the sidewalk. Hehehe

 

Uhmmmmm........ nah.

 

hey I have to do that, sometimes.....

Hey Keving, Have you scratched your front end yet, I haven't suprisingly.....

 

 

thanks for that informative post....

 

Yup... over curbs and huge parking curb-rock thingies.
