Exhaust wrap

[martinlaw]

I am going to wrap the exhaust manifolds and was wondering whether to order one or two rolls of 50feet x 2" tape.

Has anyone elso done this and how much tape did you use.

Cheers,
Martin.

Thanks for the advise.

I will order two rolls.

From what I understand, wrapping a cast iron manifold is not a good idea, but a manifold made from quality tube or stainless steel is fine.

Advantages:
Less chance of burning hands etc.
Considerably cooler air entering the air filter (main reason for wrapping) which increases horsepower.
Keeps general engine temps down.
If fuel, for whatever reason, sprays on the manifold it far less likely to ignite.

Disadvantages:
Cost and time to fit it.
Looks.

ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS!!

The manifolds are wrapped on my Sport and have never had any problems.
