Alright i'm looking at header wrap and companies sell different amounts of wrap from 15 feet lengths to 50 feet lengths. My b16b has the ctr header and i am just wondering aproximately how much wrap i will need to get the job done. If you going to say the wrap is a waste of time please don't post.



Thanks in advance guys,

 

i guess it all depends on how you wrap it...take a tape measurer and try it, it wont be exact but will give you a good idea of where you stand...just remember to order slightly more than you think you will need....its always good to have a little extra than to come up short.

 

wow

 

wrap that bitch

im sure 100ft will be enough to cover the whole header plus some of the exhaust with the left over.

 

i bought a 50ft roll and had enough for two runners and the collector so i think about 75 should be fine i just bought another 50 roll to make sure but i gave the rest away and didnt even check how much was left(by collector i mean from it to the first bend so i really only had halve of two runners left to wrap)

 

i got DEI header wrap with ties
check my sig

 

well i ordered 50 feet and i wrapped the whole header and collector, turns out i only used 75% of the 50 feet roll!

thanks for the input guys!

 

you don't wanna wrap oem headers, they tend to hold moisture, with the wrap + extra heat you'll prob burn threw a lot quicker

 

What exactly is the benefit of wrapping anyway? I have DC headers so would I gain anything for wrapping em?

 

the theory on thermo dynamics is that the hotter the air the better it flows. so in theory wrapping headers hold heat in causing the air inside to get hotter and flow faster. if it flow faster your engine produces power easier. Also if the heat is retained into your exhaust your under hood temps lower.

 

how much did u use here?

as long as you have stainless steel header, i dont see how wrapping will hurt you.

50 feet of one inch black

 

if you have thin wall and cheap metal wrapping can heat the manifold so much that they can crack
