Question Heat wrap the go???



On I.C.E Indiana Cobra Enthusiasts - under Clubs there are a few pictures of footwells with heat blanket attached.

750 Craig

My pipes were done in Castlemaine Victoria and they are sh!t and I will be covering them down to just inside the body. From there I am going to spray black heat proof paint over the coating.



The coating has both faded and also has started to peel off on the top layer.

I find the footwells get hot at the moment but my bigger concern is the amount of heat that is under the passenger guard/fender.



The area immediately above the pipe exit is very hot so a wrap is in order here.

Your wrap looks very tight, did you wet the wrap prior to wrapping the pipes? As the wrap comes in large rolls how did you estimate how much you would cut off for each pipe.

I considered cutting off a metre or so to see how far it went/wrapped over a pipe.
