[@lewisbrown7281]

There more going on than just wrapping header. Keeping the the heat in the pipes causes more flow . Savaging, hot to low pressure. That's is what H and X pipes do all so, the H /X pipe area,is low pressure, the combination exhaust is high pressure and this effect pumps the exhaust out. The 4 in 1 pipe also causes this effect vs stock manifold. If you ever noticed under front engine car, along the exhaust pipe ,there will be an area where the pipe is getting very hot ,compared to the rest. The reason is because of the distance to the Bach of the vehicle, the high/low pressure Equalized. It stop flowing. Just like the weather ,high/low pressure causes air flow. Now ,what's really cool,is having a big busty blond in the jump seat, gigaling with beat of the engine. And then her boobs rise up when you get on it. But be safe, that someone's daughter/wife/mother, bring them home safely. How to tell when you girlfriend is getting fat? She fits into you wife's clothes. Stay thrust my friends.

[@syrthdr09sybr34]

I won't lie, looks is a good part of it. But the main reason for me is to stop radiant heat from destroying other sensitive parts nearby, like one of my CV boots.

[@DKTPAirsoft]

Syrthdr09 Sybr i would rather protect those components by shielding them as opposed to wrapping the headers such that they can dissipate heat and not raise my engine temps

[@drakenameless2522]

So this is basically rock wool? Like the industrial bat insulation. Guess we can use rock wool bats for silencer core stuffing as well as it can handle the exhaust heat just fine? Guessing it's a lot tougher than the FMF fiberglass packing material.

[@nagadsby9413]

Tends to blow out a bit easier than “real” packing, but does work. I have used in both Harley mufflers and Japanese bike mufflers.

[@azeissler1987]

Isn't the main purpose of the silicone spray to keep the moisture out. Wrap can trap moisture and cause headers and exhaust manifolds to rust very rapidly.

[@mathewshackelford8037]

It is. IMO, you would spray the header with a high temp paint, wrap the header and then spray the silicon spray on the wrap.

[@jah1151]

[@kirkbrode]

Thanks for posting this. Here you are suggesting to paint the titanium/lava wrap with the silicone spray paint but in some of DEI's material it says not to paint the titanium/lava type wrap. Which is it? To paint or not to paint the Titanium wrap? Thanks?

[@baldis12]

My thoughts exactly. There is contradictory info here, and on theire website and on theire official chanel videos. Please clarify!

[@cjponyparts]

He was saying you can spray it ahead of time and it will make it easier to install the wrap. You do not need to spray it on the wrapped header.

[@kirkbrode]

@@cjponyparts That is not actually what he says. Rewatch the video. I know I don't "need" to spray the wrapped header. The question is *can* the spray be used on titanium wrap (in order to gain the benefits of the primary purpose of the spray which is "seals the material and provides lasting protection from dirt, oil and road grim")? It would be great to be able to prevent oil from soaking into the titanium wrap and causing a fire. *CAN* the spray be used on the titanium wrap without causing harm or is that not recommended for some reason?

[@mathewshackelford8037]

@@kirkbrode @ 7:47, he specifically says, "you can spray more on top or you can leave it as is."

Hi does this stick on tight when your exhaust pipe heats up. ? Thank you for any reply Best wishes to all

[@hamreracing333]

Boo B yes, if anything the expansion of the metal will make a tighter fit

[@HappyHands.]

Probably not a bad idea to wet the Titanium/Basalt wrap as it helps keeps the fibers down when installing. Who knows if the Basalt fiber may be similar to Asbestos in structure???

[@madmikesmech]

After wrapping the pipe, how soon do I have to heat up pipe? I have a bike on the lift, gotta wrap the exhaust, but I have other issues to address, so can I wrap the pipes correctly, and wait till the bike is finished before starting engine and heating pipes? How long? I am using DE Stainles

[@zanixinaz]

Should I sand the factory paint….paint it? Then wrap it ?

[@cjponyparts]

If the factory paint is there I would just wrap over it.

[@whitedevil2]

so you have to replace this wrap every 4-5 years? why? what if you don't replace it?

[@cjponyparts]

If it looks fine you can leave it alone. Over time the heat cycles can wear down the material and it wont be as effective.

This stuff insulates really well, it will most likely save your legs haha.

[@benjaminkessler8169]

I've done it on my sportster. it will definitely help with the heat. before it was almost unbearable at the stoplight, now not so much. I think the difference in life expectancy for the wrap is heat exposure, a HD runs usually very rich what means the exhaust temp is lower and of course airflow will help too.

[@alltheboost5363]

I don't understand why in any of these videos they tell people to cut the wrap after measuring out... lol never cut it take your time... tape the end that you're fishing through so it doesn't unravel especially on fiberglass stuff. Also don't do it super tight it can bend and warp the manifold and cause it to crack. Especially on turbo cars where the manifolds glow.

Keron Fisher your accord doesn’t have headers. But you can get precat deletes or high flow precats from RV6 performance. That’s as close as the accord has to headers since exhaust comes out one port on the engine.

UofARollTide Thank you very much.

The accord v6 doesnt have headers. The exhaust manifold is cast into the cylinder heads. They have precats and a J pipe. No header

[@oceanhome2023]

Does it help to keep the engine compartment cooler ?

[@cjponyparts]

Yes you will see a difference since the headers cause a lot of the heat.

[@ashqelon7267]

This is a great thing to do to isolate heat Away from the oil filter & Starter. That these two things specifically are Very affected by heat. The electric wire on starter & solenoid especially Chevy starters & the associated solenoid get basically destroyed from constant excessive manifold Heat! Making battery appear weak or low do to heat makes wire very "resistive", thus requiring significantly More electric current draw from battery. And the oil inside the oil filter gets BOILED from the 400-450 degrees off the manifolds. Basically destroyed in a few hundred miles due to over heating . Then the cooling & needed lubrication oil is designed to do is lost. This is one reason Ford used engine oil coolers & Pontiac used power steering oil coolers and most MFG used radiator use for cooling trans oil, though a separate oil cooler is by far Better then radiator is. . Overheat oil in an engine turn into carbonizing material then eventually crystalized. Natural law of thermodynamics.. Go put a $20 dollar harbor-freight thermo gun on a Chevy oil filter and looks how hot it becomes during usage, before & after the wrap! Pontiac & Chevy Exh manifold heat kills these things and insulating heat away from these pieces is a MUST to make them last. For the little cost to do this you can save the money and other things the heat does cause. This should be way more popular on the older cars yet most guys over look this . Sorry for long post...

[@tomcooper6108]

The exhaust coming thru your headers moves much quicker the hotter it is. Wrap holds heat so the gases get out quicker.

[@danielwilson6665]

Hey Bill. I can’t say anything negative about your involvement in this particular advertisement for DEI Thermal Wrap Products. You actually did a pretty good job of carrying Mike when it was obvious that he was struggling with the product or finding the right words to say. Maybe the recording process caused him to be a little nervous but confidence was definitely lacking during the segment. The benefits of reduced under hood temperatures are always a plus for a number of good reasons. But when it comes to any real world benefits that the average street/strip engine could possibly use as an advantage by maintaining the thermodynamic properties of hot expanding exhaust gases to prolong the velocity as a means of increased scavenging just doesn’t seem to be very practical considering the initial cost and tedious installation labor involved to make it look like a professional installation that will actually last the 3 or 4 years as suggested by Mike. Another minor point that could turn into a major hassle is that nearly all of the quality header manufacturers that provides a warranty with their products also makes it perfectly clear that using any type of thermal retention products on their headers will void the warranty. The reason probably has something to do with the sustained elevated temperatures when in use causing metal fatigue and moisture retention when not in use causing oxidation issues. I do believe that when it comes to headers, you get what you pay for and there’s a good selection of cheap headers available for many 2-V and a few 4-V Cleveland applications. For well engineered 4-V headers designed to fit a Classic ‘70 Mustang chassis, the choices are limited and the price really goes up. Then comes the old school die hards that choose to run Cleveland iron high port conversion heads from the glory days of Pro Stock domination. No problem in a tube chassis car. Not so easy in a ‘70 chassis. Custom headers specific to the D1AE quench chamber high ports and modified shock towers are required. Ask me how I know 😳. Still looking for a good header fabricator.

I wouldn't use any wrap It can probably deform the pipes. Just do it right and use a ceramic coating. Imagine metal that can get glowing red and you wrap it with a wrap that the pipe can't dissipate that heat. If you want to reduce Underhood temp use a heat shield to cover the header. I warn you. It looks cool but is it worth some little flow and a hole in your pocket.
