Title: Re: What´s the best exhaust wrap around? Post by: JS on August 13, 2007, 14:23:42 pm Nothing, probably. Just checking out what the rest of the people think.

Post by: Karmann on August 14, 2007, 00:18:01 am It works most excellent on gas heaters ;-) Title: Re: What´s the best exhaust wrap around? Post by: BeetleBug on August 14, 2007, 07:36:38 am How does Termotec work? Do you have to use water to soften it up, then you stretch it and wrap it around the header before it stiffens and stays there? Or is Termotec a wrap that stay soft and you have to use something to make is stay where it should?
I have tried both and must say I rather use the ones that needs water to soften up. Best rgs BB Title: Re: What´s the best exhaust wrap around? Post by: ESH on August 14, 2007, 09:22:10 am How does Termotec work? ... you have to use something to make is stay where it should? I have Thermo Tec on my header at the moment and it's secured using some stainless straps which they do to for use with it, basically a steel cable tie. I thought the stuff was quite expensive until I found a rally prep specialist who does it for about half the price of the big retailers, if you are interested and don't have a place in Norway that does it I can try to dig up their number. :) Title: Re: What´s the best exhaust wrap around? Post by: JS on August 14, 2007, 10:27:24 am Yep, stays soft. I used SS hose clamps to keep it in place.
I'm changing the header this winter so i'm doing it all over again... :-\ Title: Re: What´s the best exhaust wrap around? Post by: Karmann on August 14, 2007, 10:44:58 am How does Termotec work?

Best rgs BB Use water to soften it. Gets very smooth so application is a breeze. It even stays semi soft after you've used the car so there is no problem with it loosen. I used stainless hose clamps on each end of the pipes. Title: Re: What´s the best exhaust wrap around? Post by: kev d on August 15, 2007, 08:18:38 am Hi Kev! Good to hear from you.
