Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I can get a roll of 50mm x 3mm fibreglass exhaust wrap, problem is that it only comes in a 30m roll. Is anyone interested in going halves, I can get the roll for $92. If anyone is in Brisbane and wants to give me $45 for 15m (Repco had 15m for $91!!) let me knwo. I was going to get it in the next day or two.

What do you want the wrap for? Only thing I've seen it do is soak up fluids from leaks and help with something for a fire to burn. Lost count of the number of fires we have put out on buggies where the exhaust heat wrap is the thing burning.

The previous (sp) owner of my cruiser put it on the exhaust. It all looked good until the exhaust rust through underneath it.
I wont use it again on any of my cars.
I don't see enough benifit in putting it on considering the problems it causes. (Fires, rust etc)

Its good stuff for insulating heat but if used over mild steel will overheat the steel and leach out the carbon. Use with quality stainless steel OK.

if you really need to get it (yea does help exhausts rust), try dudes that race harleys if they still do - or novice bike racers, they use bucket loads of it

Great on drag cars shit 4x4 as above your mild steel exhaust will die very quickly unless you don't take it off road.

Heat wrap causes rapid corrosion, as stated above.

NASCARs have their brand new, best quality headers wrapped and they fall apart by the end of EACH race. The wrap is all that is holding them together in many cases and the headers can not be re-used.

That said nascar header would be thin walled mild steal for weight saving. But I agree heat wrap is a waste of money, I bought some and it's still sitting in the cupboard after I did more research. I'll sell you mine dirt cheap I ended up buying new ceramic coated header, best thing I ever did. HPC coating dramatically reduced temps.

I have to agree. i've wrapped the exhuast etc with it, but only untill sure we aren't changing anything and then it will hpc coated. Only been on a few weeks and you can see the problems already!!!!!!!

HPC coating sounds the goods, but who does this application, powder coaters or someone else.

ive used the heat wrap before.
great for hiding terrible welding on home made dump pipes, other than that, a heat sheild and a coating would be better.
