If only all KZbin videos were as helpful as yours are. Great video man. In the middle of doin this myself. Never wrapped headers before and went with the 2", much harder to maneuver in order to avoid too much overlap.

[@guidosarducci3047]

Every video I've watched so far - says not to exceed the 1/4" overlay or it can damage your tubes making them too hot and become brittle as a result. Hope It's ok. Thanks for post.

[@dannystrickland950]

Just got my wrap today headers will be here on Tuesday so I can start wrapping my headers and probably change out my manifolds on my 14 ram. Like you I already did the bolt change out but I believe I got a broken stud again on each side so round 2 here we go

[@joleitch82]

Beautiful work on the header wrapping man! Clean and slick too, guess we can call you the Martha Stuart of header wrapping and wiring 🤣 love the vids and keep spitting them out brother!

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Haha thanks John! It was very time consuming but the end result turned out great!

[@NaughtyCustoms]

You can spray the silicone spray on bare stainless headers and let it dry. Then put your wrap on. The previous coating of silicone helps prevent slipping. Works great!

[@stephananstey2522]

Great video, not sure if it was stated or not, im about to buy a set of jba for my new body style '19.. did 100' of the 1" do both? Thanks

[@Hugo_Umana]

I'm going to be broke watching all your videos... lol thanks for the videos..

[@alfonsomartinez1732]

Awesome man appreciate the time you take to make these vids😎, might get into myself want to see sum sounds clips with the headers on!..

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Thanks brother! More content on the way! 😁

[@almightyantichrist]

Looks good. When I used to wrap Harley pipes, I always soaked the wrap in water. It would help with the slipping and also would shrink to the pipes as it dried. However, I never had to wrap such a complex tight design. Well done.

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Yeah that is the case with regular header wrap but this titanium stuff specifically states not to wet it. 😎

[@almightyantichrist]

You youngsters, with your Titanium pipe wrap, and Platinum spark plugs...LOL

[@BoostedMotorsports]

🤣

[@jamesbalderastx]

Thank you for the video. I just picked up a set of BBK headers for cheap and will definitely be wrapping them

[@bfairfax8772]

I wonder are you going to put the truck on the dyno after you do the header install . I'm interested in what kind of gain you get for my project/ daily driver 2012 DODGE 1500 Hemi 2dr 2wd short bed.

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Hey Bill I did dyno the truck for fun on a sketchy mobile dyno in high humidity heat on the canned tune just for fun. I'll have that video out soon! 👍

[@jacksmith3189]

I’d like to see the video of you installing the headers

[@backyardbuilttrucks1]

Awesome job on the wrap job man. Mine were like that and my new set are even worse. But tubes touching they are solid cant move .

[@Element115x]

Was it harder to install them after you wrapped them up??

[@brianpreston4121]

Thanks. I showed my friend he wants to try this idea on his bbk shorty headers v6. You think one roll should be good enough to do both headers. They have lots of gaps in them enough to go around every inch of them. And where did you get the zip ties from. We're both doing this now on our cars

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Thats awesome! It might be close but I still think you will need more than 1 roll. It disappears pretty quickly! They sell it in different widths but this 1" stuff works better for tight bends. 👍

[@brianpreston4121]

@@BoostedMotorsports I uses 1" titanuim. One was way plenty. Sealed it with the sealant. Waiting to put in my car. Bbk shorty headers. Cat delete. But ordered high performance cats. Y pipe delete straight from the cats to the dual exhaust.

[@chrisbenson98]

You can spray dei high temp silicone on the headers before wrapping to help with the slip.

[@mrskwrl]

I'm pulling the trigger on this wrap. How has it held up so far?

[@A3203503]

So what is the difference between this titanium wrap and standard wrap? Besides colour?

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Its just supposed to be better quality, plus its more pliable and you don't need to soak it in water to get a tighter wrap.

[@06ramsport]

I have a question for you I have the same headers you have what wrap size do you recommend 1 inch or 2 inch just to make sure the coverage is good

[@SmittDirt47]

Thoughts on how much wrap you'd need for long tubes? Have a set of aFe en route and want to keep the heat down

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Long tube you could probably do the 2" stuff since it doesnt have as many crazy bends and get at least two 50 foot rolls

[@SmittDirt47]

@@BoostedMotorsports I ended up just grabbing the 1" x 100ft.. dude I tried ordering the one you linked and it told me it was restricted to my address in California lol I thought about getting the 2" too. Oh well lol

[@67judge]

What type of scissors ✂️ do you you to cut?

[@JoseGarcia-lg6cj]

I bought some ceramic coated jba shorty headers should i wrap those?

[@_wardavewoodworks]

Nicely thought out, great job.

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Thanks brother! 🤘

[@ortegamedrano71196]

Awesome video ! I receive my bbk headers this weekend! How many feet did you end up using?

[@cad1995]

Great job on wrapping the headers. Next round on me, you've earned it. Lol

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Haha thanks brother! 🤣🤘

[@tokslut]

why not just get them powder coated? I hade Hooker Super competition headers that where ceramic coated on my last Corvette and they where so good! You could have your hand half an inch from them when engine was hot!

[@BoostedMotorsports]

The insulated heat wrap actually works better plus it is far more cost effective. Everything altogether was about $80 for two 50' rolls, metal ties and the tool. Jet Hot coating which is the number one company is several hundreds of dollars plus shipping back and forth which isn't cheap given the size and weight. On top of all this many people have found the coating to come off prematurely. 😎

[@tokslut]

Thats sucks, I was whery happy with Hookes Coating. Hade them for ~13 years till I sold the Vette (not many miles for that time)

[@Lawl0h]

@BoostedMotorsports my question is , what's the comparison between this and ceramic coating them?

[@thechumpsbeendumped.7797]

Nice neat job. When you handheld the camera it makes it hard to see what you’re doing because you moving it so jerkily, it also makes me motion sick 🤢. I just watched an ETCG video where he used the same product and he mentioned that the wrap has a sewn edge and a woven edge and it’s important you get it the right way around but you didn’t mention it and I couldn’t see if you had done it correctly. Your wedging the wrap by doing a double fold was a good idea as was doing the same on the end nearest the engine to stop it fraying. I also saw a video from the manufacturer and they make a spray you can either apply to the header or spray on the wrap after application to stop it slipping off.

[@jacksmith3189]

Excellent video Thanks

[@bol922]

Why shorties over long tubes?

[@edclements5112]

If you would have gotten the coated ones that come from JBA would you still wrap them?

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Probably not but I've heard of the coating coming off prematurely which would be pretty upsetting!

[@slant6guy]

Stainless steel hose clamps of various sizes where needed work just as good, or better, than the stainless steel tie wraps out there. Good job wrapping there as I had to do the same for a 1998 Dodge RAM 1500 5.9L Magnum v8 budget stainless headers from eBay. Also, Remflex 100% graphite gaskets are The Bomb & better than Fel-Pro.

[@cyyom9628]

Hey looking to do the same and upgrade my headers but have the original OEM bolts can you list the part number for the Mopar bolts you purchased in theother video and the new locking bolts. Thanks in advanced

[@BoostedMotorsports]

If you upgrade your headers the OEM mopar bolts are actually too long! Let me know what your plan is and I'll try to point you in the right direction 😁

[@baldis12]

Skuff the headers with fiber pad before wrapping to make it stick better. Allso : 1/4 " overlap is recomended.

[@danielperetto9722]

Still waiting for the catch can but intake came in

[@santiagoorquiz]

Wow those came out great

[@davidreid2092]

Why do headers get wrapped?

[@kurtmccann137]

the stock headers must put off a ton of heat since they are straight up iron cast

[@BoostedMotorsports]

For sure! 😎

[@Internet_Handles_Are_Dumb]

Stock manifolds are actually made to contain a lot of heat with the cast iron compared to aftermarket headers. Anyone putting headers in a vehicle should definitely do this before install. Some might not notice any under hood temps going up depending on the vehicle and amount of driving. But over some time most will notice things getting melty or brittle from not having heat mitigation like a wrap or coating.

[@miket.5184]

Looks good.👍

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Thanks Mike! 👍

[@alconk7129]

Did you ask JBA if the wrap voids the warranty? Over my years of header installs they all had a disclosure with wrapping would void the warranty. Also on a side question I notice most of the time you are in a large warehouse of some sort. Lucky you but is that yours or have a business? I know none of my business just thought how lucky you are for such a convenience.

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Its not an issue with high quality stainless headers but I can totally understand the concern. I have a few spots for fun projects that I'll get into later on the channel 😎

[@txgaspimp9321]

Good job

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Thanks brother! 🤘

[@richardu6244]

Please excuse my ignorance here. I never installed headers, hell I never owner a car prior to my Ram where I could use them. My question, is it absolutely necessary to use wrapping on headers? I understand it helps with the heat transfer. Pleiades no stupid or smart comments. I’m being serious. There’s always that “know it all” that has to put someone down.

[@kurtnulf3362]

With a header like that I think your better off sending to a shop and getting it ceramic coated than trying to wrap it

[@MrPaveles]

No links at all!

[@albertogutierres1977]

But the armadillos came out great ready to roast them 👍🍺

[@BoostedMotorsports]

hahah they definitely look badass all said and done! 👍

[@albertogutierres1977]

Just looking at how complicated and tight it is got me frustrated brother 🤪🤪🤪

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Hahah I procrastinated doing it for sure lol

[@charleslincoln5357]

So many claim shorty headers do nothing so wtf

[@greenman7yyy]

Do you really think that those JBA headers have a stainless steel coating 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂. I always wrap or cover the most difficult type to access 1st... basically like. It is worth mentioning that wrapping exhaust headers immediately voids their expensive warranty, FOREVER...like basically.

[@Lawl0h]

what was wrong with the previous one? lol

[@BoostedMotorsports]

The audio was all jacked up lol. Had to re upload it 😁

[@MrLightning54]

I think you should do this professionally if you currently don't.
