The best explanation i found for applying titanium wrap. Thanks. i am planning to apply a heat res. paint and wrap my header exhaust. I hope i can do it without releasing the header from my engine bay.

[@FastMonty]

Thanks! Good luck with the install... you'll find it way easier by removing it completely, especially if you're painting them. Have fun!

[@TimeTravelExplorer]

What a super nice guy! Thanks for taking the time to do this video! Getting ready to wrap some now

[@FastMonty]

Ha! Thanks Johnny... have fun! (and be patient with it... :))

[@philipgavin6962]

Great video. Thanks for taking the time to make it.

[@FastMonty]

Thanks Philip! Thanks for the comment!

I have used super glue to reduce fray during wrapping phase.

[@FastMonty]

Ohhh, I love that idea! Next time, next time... thanks for sharing!

[@gopherchucksgamingnstuff2263]

If you leave a tiny bit on the end of the ties you can roll it over to get the sharp edge off.

[@FastMonty]

Good tip! Thanks!

[@gopherchucksgamingnstuff2263]

Nice work, I did a mini Coopers header. Today, I am doing my GSXR. My header is right under my radiator. I am hoping to deflect the heat until it is under my bike.

[@FastMonty]

Thanks! Yeah, it works great, have fun!

[@stephboeker7835]

Thank you !! Gonna do my new Vance & Hines headers w/ blue titanium for my Road King Classic. Question : I wonder if folding over the 45° might allow you to use 1 strap on the end ?? I'll try it.

[@FastMonty]

Awesome Steph! That'll look, killer! You're probably going to need two straps... but, let us know. (I used two, one for backup, just in case the other came loose) Have fun!

[@firebird70]

soak it in water next time so you can stretch it while you're wraping it during install. keep the vids coming, nice work !

[@FastMonty]

Thanks! And great advice!

Fast Monty's Garage and wetting it helps strains staying together and prevents fibres from sticking to your hands and becoming airborne

[@FastMonty]

@@firebird70 Ohhhh now you tell me. Cough. Ha, ha... see you soon!

[@backyardbuilttrucks1]

Do not ever soak the DEI titanium wrap . It also don't itch like fiberglass wrap. .you soak fiberglass wrap to keep the glass fibers from floating in the air so you don't breathe them in.

[@PNWShawn]

If using fiberglass tape yes, but NOT the DEI titanium wrap. Regular fiberglass wrap absolutely want to soak before wrapping, then idle engine several minutes to dry. Some also recommend then spraying down with water to fully soak and idling engine to dry a second time with fiberglass tape. However, DEI says you do not soak their titanium wrap. (I see that Backyard-Built-Trucks already made this comment, but I second it!)

I love KZbin. People making how to videos on things they've never done 🤣

[@FastMonty]

Me too. At least I clearly state I've never done it before. Unlike others. Thanks.

[@hkg3a2]

Can you leave the tape on and let it burn off, or will it discolor?

[@FastMonty]

The masking tape? I'm sure it'll burn, not sure if it will come off. :) If you figure out a better way to cut that stuff, let us know!

[@justinsharratt7282]

another good video. next time you mess with exhaust wrap get it wet first will prevent the fraying and easier to keep tight as your wrapping it.

[@FastMonty]

Thanks Justin, great tip for everyone... thanks again!

This tip only applies to classic fibreglass wraps, DEI Titanium is made from lava rock and you're not supposed to wet it.

[@FastMonty]

@@Audiojack_ Thanks for the clarification!

[@v8pontiacvent]

Nice work 👍🏼. I’ve been contemplating wrap or the VHT Flame Proof spray paint. Curious to see the temp difference on the ceramic surface vs the wrap.

[@FastMonty]

Thanks! Yeah, I don't know the heat reduction we'd see with ceramic vs wrap. But, the flame proof paint won't do anything. Prett sure thats just paint and won't reduce Temps. Let us know if you find out any more details. Thanks again!

@@FastMonty Cool, I have a 1991 header on my Saturn Sl2, don't laugh, believe it or not and was gonna buy this because the header paint I bought at pep boys is garbage and flaked off...lol I also got a port and polish intake and bigger TBI and a cold air intake and totally beefed up suspension and dropped another 100 lbs off the car. Do the straps come with it?

[@FastMonty]

@@junechris Sounds fun to me! Keep at it!

[@kurtnulf3362]

With this type of header tape does DEI recommend sealing the tape with high temp silicone spray or not before install ?

[@FastMonty]

Good question Kurt... no, no sealant necessary. Thanks for the comment!

[@brentrichards1200]

DEI does NOT (

[@kurtnulf3362]

@@FastMonty Well you sell silicone spray paint and on the can it says to used to seal our Titamium header wrap so whos telling the truth ?

[@FastMonty]

@@kurtnulf3362 I don't understand your question... it says on DEI's website, "DEI HT Silicone Coating not required" for Titanium wrap. It might be needed for other types of wrap?

[@kurtnulf3362]

@@FastMonty Well I wraped my exhaust manifold in DEI titamium wrap and then used there Hi Temp silicone coating it might not be needed but I dont think it will hurt .I heard that the seal adds to the life of the wrap will see

Can I use this on my flex pipe to stop an exhaust leak

[@FastMonty]

Good question, Dan. Unfortunately, No, it won't stop a leak. That said, if your leak is at the fitting between the flex pipe, and exhaust, take it apart and use Permatex Optimum Red www.summitracing.com/parts/ptx-27038 ... it worked for me (which is actually a future video of mine). Thanks again for the comment! Good luck!

[@dmoore215]

Fast Monty's Garage thanks buts the leak is at the end of the flex pipe I was told not to use fiber fix is that a good choice it’s to expensive to fix I drive a 06 Kia Sedona

[@FastMonty]

@@dmoore215 Dan, the fix, unfortunately, is to buy a new one. Maybe a wrecking yard might have one off of a wrecked Sedona. Good luck!
