i got header wrap on the way to wrap it up in.

sweet, let me know how hard or easy it is. i need to wrap mine too, i'd like to know how much it makes a difference. my hood gets REALLY hot now!

[LewFX]

got it today, took 40 minutes or so to put on. start at the top of one side, go down then cross onto another side and keep going down. in the end i had to wrap 2 together. pic will be on later....

well i drove around the block and it started to smoke, so i had to pull over and take it off, does header wrap normally smoke up a storm then die off?

i'd have let it smoke off in the driveway, and no i dont know if smoke is normal.

whenever i do anything to my exhaust i start it up with the hood open and let any smoke thats gonna happen just happen there while im watching it.

[DeW_H0e_GT]

when u first use the wraps let it sit for a while cuz it WILL smoke.....after that, everythigns fine n dandy...

[LewFX]

okay ill put it back on tomorrow

[LewFX]

well i drove it around til it smoked, retreated back to the carport, waited an hour, drove it around again, let her smoke a lil more...big difference with it on, feels like car is in constant O/D mode. makes car a lil too loud for my taste

[DeW_H0e_GT]

did it smoke after more driving????

ill defintiely do mines soon....

[Bitter]

so it feels alot stronger/faster with the wrap on? how much louder? or did it just change the tone of the sound?

[LewFX]

ya after driving it longer, it started to smoke up a little more, now it still smells...once you hit 60+ the speed stays close to 60 and slowly drops not like before

i wouldn't wrap a daily driver

[Bitter]

i wouldn't wrap a daily driver

i need to keep the heat out of my engine bay before i ruin the paint on my hood! wrapping down the runners to the downpipe seems like a good way to do that.


lew, im still not clear...it feels faster wrapped? what did you mean by the 60mph stuff? how did wrapping change the sound?

[LewFX]

its almost like the feeling when you first put in a cai, the car is all happy happy joy joy but then comes back to earth is runs normal

[Bitter]

ah ok! i understand. how much wrap did you use, how much did it cost, and where did you get it from?
