As cheap bastard, I appreciate the tips to make my 97 shitbox quiet again 👍🏻

[@EuphoriaMusic1]

"97 Shitbox" 😂

[@cocvhecv]

Love my 2005 shit box. Respect for the 97 model.

[@jcaleca60]

I've used that you peel it little by little as you're putting it on so it doesn't stick to everything as you're working with it😊

[@dean3583]

Car dealership just asked me $1150 to fix this. I will buy the tape. Thanks

[@cdlangowsky]

Just like any tape you should unroll it as you need it and try to keep from dragging it around on the ground...

[@PhillipsVision]

Thanks for the feedback

[@humanityincvideos5114]

That’s what I was thinking

[@zadraking]

When you're anxious for a repair, dumb things usually happen.

[@LC-go1uh]

I was thinking the exact same thing as soon as I saw him pull all that backer off. That stuff will pick up all kinds of crap.

[@Dem0nized]

I mean that's common sense take what u need and then go from there. 😂

[@angelreyes2921]

Straight to the point. Some times i prefer to pay because of the equipment.

[@charlesangeli7412]

Peeling the the plastic and brown paper as you wrap it’s easier to work with

[@PhillipsVision]

Charles Angeli I agree 👍

[@ike6795]

I think so

[@Yeeto767]

I screwed up putting this on so bad. I didn't remove the clear backing and I loosely wrapped it with metal zip ties and but I gotta say, it worked and kept it sealed amazingly

[@m23swwager1]

duuuuuuuuuuude ...... same lol

[@thenateyshow8900]

@@m23swwager1 is yours still holding up?

[@heathermorgan8582]

This gave me hope. Thank you!

[@savinafulton5954]

I left the clear strip on and it started smoking caught fire alil and a piec 7:41 e fell off

[@JJthejetplane-in7ii]

I put some of this stuff on my 4runner to cover a probably half inch wide hole and let me tell you it works and it works great yea its kinda tough to deal with once it gets a little warm it sticks to everything but once you get the stuff on it is not going to come off with ease and it will seal the hole

[@PhillipsVision]

Jason Brazil thanks for the input

[@zadraking]

Some cheap screw down hose clamps will help nice to keep it from unwrapping and seal better

[@zadraking]

Metal house clamps

[@glentreasure2466]

Yeah, I did that to my vehicle. Went back a week later cause I heard it getting loud again so I went on the car and locked and it was like don’t know man it was like roll loose rockets slide it right up, but I actually put it real tight, put it real tight

[@ClassicRider]

I'm about to use this product and appreciate your demonstration. My thinking about putting it on, is when wrapping continuously, perhaps shortened sections which lay on each other. ,

[@ClassicRider]

The clear film on both sides is somewhat confusing. In removing the clear film from both sides how do you remember which the backer came of of. Or does it matter ?

[@governmentcheese411]

STUFF WORKS GREAT, BUT.... 1. i recommend doubling up on it. use two rolls. it's cheap and better safe than sorry. 2. even a hair dryer on high heat will help. thoroughly heat up the area before running the car. it'll give the resin a chance to setup before you put load pressure on it. 3. using electric tape to hold the sheet metal in place while you begin wrapping will smooth things out for you nicely. get your first wraps on. then pull the electric tape off, and continue wrapping. it'll help prevent sliding around and loosening as you start wrapping. 4. last of all and most important.... do NOT unwrap the entire roll prior to application. it's meant to be unwrapped as you apply it. every second the wrap is exposed to the elements is a risk. every spec of dirt and debris is a possible future failure of the application. and yes, all the dangling strips of paper and plastic is a bit of an issue. but vastly less of a headache than dealing with the sticky mess these strips can be. trust me... just tear the excess off every so often as you go along :)

[@larryparks1520]

I just clamped a full break just behind the muffler. Tiger tape plus wrap it repair. Then high temperature gasket paper. With a pipe clamp over it all. Hope to get to next week.

[@yuridaman]

How is it holding up?

[@medsimvallejo]

Good video... easy to follow and the comments below were very helpful!!! Great dialog!!!

[@megrai4137]

Beer can idea is great 👍

[@alexiaisthename]

JESUS BROTHER LOL AGREED

[@josephmachado7939]

I put same exact tape on my car it smelled like burning plastic for a couple days but it’s holding!

[@Saltbox97]

Interesting stuff. Wondering why you felt the need to pull all the plastic off before starting the wrapping process versus taking it off only as you wrapped the pipe a bit at a time?

[@starsixtyseven195]

I used it its long and both sided covered

[@cheemthief]

@@starsixtyseven195 you can just pull offf the film as you go so it doesnt get covered in crap and stick to stuff as your goin

[@johnbarney6861]

Nice explanation very good kudos and 🧢 off to you.

[@PhillipsVision]

Thx👍

[@JohnSmith-xx1lx]

Nah, you're wrong. I used the stuff with one arm because my other arm was injured and it was actually really easy it's all about your preparation pill a piece of the tape off on both sides ahead of time grab your scissors evaluate your situation roll it on as you go. I did it easily in less than 5 minutes and made no mess I was really impressed. But yes if you're not familiar with this stuff it can get messy and you can get tangled up with it, once you learn it and understand it it can definitely be your best friend and prefer it overwhelming actually to be honest.

[@allenrussell6135]

I just used a monster can and 2 hose clamps. It lasts about 6 months. I helped a friend with his car and instead of a pop can we tried a soup can. I bet that soup can lasts longer than the rest of the exhaust. We live in the salt capital of the US. New York state and a few miles from a massive salt mine. Between our horrible roads and tons of salt, ive seen 4 year old cars with rotten frames...

[@garyl6265]

The exhaust pipe needs to be hot to the touch before wrapping.

[@joejoelesh1197]

It didn't say that on my pack! Shoot. The car is running now to cure. I hope it still works

[@chrisp.5272]

I think I’m going to buy some of this, but use stainless steel zip ties on the ends to keep it in place. Then wrap the headers with titanium exhaust wrap.

[@Meatwad.Baggins]

I would use one steel and one stainless steel on each end. Stainless is obviously more corrosion resistant but that doesnt mean that it will last longer in this application. Steel is proven to work but yeah it doesnt last forever. Under stress, heating and cooling all the time, vibration and all kinds of crap like that is better suited for steel. However I do not know which lasts longer. I have an experiment goin on with my fuel filler neck to find out but an exhaust pipe has more strenuous conditions. Also, if you wrap your headers which I dont really recommend, do it absolutely perfectly. You run a chance of destroying your headers even if they are stainless

[@ryantogo8359]

@@Meatwad.Baggins what the hell are you yakking about

[@sonaspotted1]

I used this. Mines came with a clamp as well. Its definitely a huge difference

[@starsixtyseven195]

What he said you need to clean the area amd heat up the pipe before tightly wrapping it and squeezing with insulated gloves , i cut mine in half and put wires on all 4 ends, its a tarry substance once it cools down its hard amd crumbly

[@TheCastedone]

Intro and outro are dope...wished that tape held up. I think its because it was on an elbow

[@TomasQ]

I put this stuff on yesterday but it starts to come off off as it heats up. Thinking of adding some foil tape over it.

[@pcno2832]

And hose clamps.

[@greenspiraldragon]

I saw one guy used a heat gun instead of letting it run for 20 min. That way it doesn't have to fight the pressure. What was the orange and blue tape?

[@PhillipsVision]

greenspiraldragon heat gun would be good. The colored tape was used to keep it from wrapping onto itself

[@Rick-the-Swift]

You can also just turn car off after it runs for 20-30 mins and then wrap it. The pipes will stay hot for plenty long to do the job.

[@alexiaisthename]

Did you remove the tape you placed over the product after? Or does it stay there? I'm actually getting ready to do it now and decided to look at a video.. ill be cleaning the area around the pipe to prevent any other gunk from getting on the tape.. thanks for your review it really helped. The instructions were simple but I tend to overthink things sometimes 😅

[@PhillipsVision]

alexia mora yes, that was there just to hold it in place. If you don’t remove it, it will melt. One thing I did wrong was to unravel it first which caused it to stick to itself. You want to unravel it in small sections as you apply it. That makes it more manageable

[@lpcovertnarcissistbehavior6555]

So it doesn't work by it self, if we have to add more steps

[@jimmytant]

Wow, this is a great review thank so much!

[@SirHumboldt]

This stuff smells like your car is on fire.

[@yfz350twin]

I'd cut into smaller more manageable pieces.

[@billydegeneres5284]

Worked great on my car, thanks

[@georgesaffold8431]

How well did it hold up

[@PhillipsVision]

I used it for a temporary patch until the pipe was welded; for that application it worked fine. It was on for about a week

[@DMDesignStudios]

Cut in smaller sections for ease of use.

[@PhillipsVision]

I agree 100%

[@dernanerbitch]

Cut your take into manageable pieces as a suggestion.

[@kylephillips3584]

Would you use this around your manifold?

[@PhillipsVision]

No, there is a metal compound made strictly for manifolds. It will cure as the temp increases. I believe it’s made by JB Weld

[@JonathanVaucher]

I bought 2 but the glue was absolutely bone dry so the thing is hard like plastic and not sticky at all, even after heating it up with a heat gun. I my case this stuff sucked. Did not work at all.

[@Empok_Nor]

IS this wrap still working?

[@PhillipsVision]

B. D. It was removed a few months after and welded with a new pipe.

[@pasha37ua]

How long does it last?

[@PhillipsVision]

It varies based on how well it was applied. I wouldn’t expect it to be a permanent fix

[@user-xh2jz6jc4q]

Yea I love how the company says to overlap it 1 inch when the product is only 2 inches so you & they know damn gooden well that only using that small amount WILL quite often result in you the Consumer to have to go and Buy More just to Finish The Job... Smh

[@oneyaker]

Cut smaller pieces and don't strip the backing tape all the way

[@mulbizcal]

Could you have cut and apply about 1 or 2 foot pieces at a time?

[@PhillipsVision]

mulcahy bizarro I believe it needs to be applied as one wrap. Where I screwed up was unwrapping it and having it stuck to itself. Should unwrapped small sections at a time.

[@peterhamlinhamlin8908]

Thanx. I shall unwrap a portion then wrap that portion, one foot at a time.

[@mileswatkins6472]

Update ?

[@PhillipsVision]

It was only used for a temp patch until the exhaust pipe was replaced. During the time on there it held, which was a few weeks.

[@DblTap317]

Mine wasn't sticky at all 🤔

[@MarioLopez-fl5pc]

Its 8.99 now

[@pauljoseph9750]

what is the red and blue tape you used?

[@PhillipsVision]

Just tape to hold it in place

Doesn’t work after one hour same as before

Bolts were rusted on and this was a quick temporary fix
