Hey Guys,

I felt like this would be the most appropriate forum to put this topic under,

Anyways I just finished up heat wrapping my Y-pipe, Headers (crappy xs power / ebay style ones) and test pipe

It went on well but what I realized after i applied the Silicon paint is that with one of the roles somewhere on the y-pipe I didnt wet the material before I applied it.

My quesiton is what will happen when I install the pipe with heat wrap that wasnt wet before applying it?

thanks

 

go call the people who make the wrap?

my bet is nothing will happen. perhaps it will smoke a lil more then usual but it should be fine.

 

Nothing will happen. Getting it wet just makes it easier to apply, that is all.

 

if it stays wrapped then there is no reason to worry about it. are you going turbo or something? why wrapping exhaust?

 

no, I actually got a whole role of it for free from a friend who bought a big multi pack for his down-pipe on his golf 1.8T. I just picked up a used y-pipe and it looked pretty crappy on the outside so I thought I may as well wrap it to cover up the pipe as well as I heard it can get rid of the "bees in a can noise". People tell me it adds HP but i dont believe that it will affect much if im not turbo.

But yea the wrap stays on fine, thanks guys, I jsut wanted to make sure the stuff wouldnt ignite while im driving haha.

 

im digging this up i know..

but after the wrap did it kill the bees?
i just put on a warpspeed Y and i hate the buzzing...

 

Well My current set up is Warp speed y-pipe. Custom Test Pipe. Greddy Sp2. Its quite a loud set up with the test pipe but it doesnt really have the bees in the can noise, its a little smoother, a little like the 350z but definetly not the precision of equal length pipes


*edit, I forgot to mention, I never had the pipe in before the wrap so i cant compare if it actually made a difference

*also btw since i didnt wet the wrap it smoked like hell but eventually cured right
