I thought they would be re-useable. I put on a number for racing and it came off in pieces. Widows Son's Cobra is a beauty! Wow!

Not much of a decision to make really, put them on, peel them off. They're good. I've had some on for ages and others I just put on for the day or two at the track to get in the spirit. I have lost one or two over the years though.

Yes, this is the titanium wrap that requires no silicon spray treatment. Just wrap it. 50' split across 2 pipes. Saved my calves many times. Used exhaust paint on the clamps from homedepot and it works great.

WS, Does the titanium exhaust wrap keep it cooler? Does it change the sound? My pipes are showing corrosion and I might want to wrap them just to improve their looks. Great idea!

I bought this wrap, but haven't got to fitting them. I was going to make a heat shield, but that looks a lot simpler. Is that one layer? And can you touch the pipe? Wow your Cobra is my new wallpaper.

Looks good itempany.

I appreciate the comments and Q&A so I'll start a new thread on pipe wraps out of courtesy to itempany. I'd prefer not to hijack his inquiry on decals.
