Re: 1in or 2in exhaust wrap
i would have to say 1"
i've wraped 3 or 4 downpipes with 2" getting it around those bends isnt hard but i wouldnt want to attemp anything with a tighter bend radius.... i plan on 1" if my ramhorn
and the trick to a nice tight wrap is to soak it in warm water first...it will slightly loosen up the fibers while wet and it will tighten back up as it drys

While this topic is up , what is the best way to clamp the wrap @ manifold...is there better way then using ugly *** hose clamps? maybe some sort of wire ties that doesnt look as bad.
Also soaking in warm water prior to adding the wrap seems like good logic

Wear gloves and make sure your skin doesn't make any contact with the wrap. That fiberglass stuff is no joke and will irritate the **** out of your skin. Just a heads up! I had to learn this the hard way!
