How To Correctly Wrap Your Exhaust!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 кві 2020
- Some people asked how to wrap your exhaust components and because I needed to do it for the BRZ's Over Pipe I figured it was a good chance to show everyone! This technique will work on any exhaust manifold or Exhaust components that you need to wrap. I HIGHLY SUGGEST USING THE COATING SPRAy OR YOUR PIPES WILL CORRODE!

This is the hero this video needs!
Thanks!
Thank you.
This video is a good foundation for those that haven't wrapped exhaust. However, titanium wraps don't need to be soaked and expanded to be applied - they can be wrapped dry. Additionally, titanium wraps require 4-5 very light coats since the silicone won't absorb as well as fiberglass. I'm stressing this again due to the fact that between every coat with titanium wraps, you must heat-cure it at 400-425 degrees Fahrenheit between 1.5-2 hours. The heat-curing process will prevent any moisture from seeping in.
Thanks for the additional tip I appreciate it
Thank you
The instructions that come with the titanium wrap say to soak it first...
@@3RAN7ON I'm holding the package in my hands.... & Nowhere does it mention soaking wetting or anything to do with water...
@@3RAN7ON what a strange thing to lie about. Unless my own eyes deceive me, you are incorrect.
So glad to see your channel taking off, i been watching ur vids since the channel was a wee whipped snapper 🤓 Im here because i need to wrap the down pipe for my B9 S4 😀
Eyyyy always appreciate the support, been seeing a lot of S4s recently. 😍
Soooooooo happy you're going with the fp black. I was thinking of doing 1 as well 🤟
Awesome man!
Thanks for the video. Super helpful and. Good info. I appreciate you.
I’m glad you’re good bro ! Stay safe out there 🦾🤙🏽
Thank you and you as well!
This is great. I was just wanting to find out how to wrap headers. Getting uel headers soon for the sg6
Same concept when you go to do the headers 😁😁😁
Very informative. Thank you!
Great video man, exactly the info I was looking for
Glad the video helped 🙌😁
Glad you are feeling better my friend and thank you for another great video, congrats on the 12K.Onward and up 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thank you! Excited to keep things going and keep pushing onward 😁
Looking good. Glad to see your feeling better
Thank you! Feeling great! 😁
Another awesome video!!! It always makes my day when I watch your videos!! I have learned a lot from your channel!! I am going to do a few modifications to my Civic TypeR and it’s cool to be show how to do certain things!! Keep up the incredible work and I am glad you are feeling better!!!! 🔥🚙
Appreciate the support and also glad to be feeling better! I need to drive a type R soon, I keep hearing good things about them!
I have really enjoyed my Type R!! I have always loved Subaru the wrx, Wrx Sti and have rode in one but have never driven any newer Subaru!! They would definitely be a car I would love too!! Keep up great great work!!🚙🚙
Awesome man. I bought a cheap exhaust for a Honda grom. Gonna wrap the pipe and coat it same way. Cheers
Lookin good, bud! 👍👍
Glad you're better! enjoying your channel!
Thank you and I appreciate the support my man!
Glad you are feeling better! Check out safety wire twisting pliers. These work great for that wire you used. Keep up the good work
I use to have some but no idea where they went lol manual twisting was a good back up for now 😅 and thank you, excited to keep em coming 😁
Glad your all good bro this video will help when i do the header pipes on my bug love the content stay safe mate
Glad the video helped! And same, dangerous out there now adays. Stay safe!
Just wrapped my headers last night with the Titanium wrap. No need to wet it since it is not made from fiberglass and it is extremely flexible and stretches easily. Other than that, great job.
Wetting it is just something yhats worked a little better for me in thr past. I believe DEI suggests doing it dry. 🙏
@@Smeedia just found your channel by the way. Full of great info and great content. Keep it up.
Thank you! 🙏😁
Great details man. Good video 👍👌
Thank you🙏
Great Work.
Thank you! 😁😁😁
I know this comment is a day late, lol, are but I really appreciate it this video. I already have aircraft fabrication skills and I follow LeMans racing so I do all of mine fabrication and install based on what I can find they do in that type of race card development. This is one of those that is very hard to find what they do and I know they use a very similar process so I really appreciate you showing this thank you very much
BIG moves on the STI coming soon. IM HYPE BRO LETS GET IT OUUUUUUUUU
I use ideal clamps .. to
hold the wrap also ...
nice video
If u read the directions,
It’ll tell u to paint the exhaust prior to wrapping and let fully cure.
Then wrap and no water will ever eat away at the metal
Yup, moisture will make its way in and slowly eat the metal if not painted first
You can tell he isn't about to read no stinking directions... I think between the first can of paint he huffed and god knows how many power drinks he wouldn't listen to the manufacturer if he was standing there. Bad advice video...
Dude literally all of the rebull
Glad you're ferling better man!
Thank you! Glad to be feeling better 🙌
Came here to get some pointers on wrapping my down pipe for my 5.9 Cummins with a Evilfab s467 second gen swap. But very informative and just well put together video, you should be proud Sir. Earned a subscriber and I could see what I need for my mil ‘s 2014 outback.
Appreciate the support and sounds like a fun rig, wanted one for a few years as a tow truck for some of the cars. Alot more expensive than I thought 😅
@@Smeedia it’s a very pricey hobby. I have an ig @dude_is_jolley it’s got a few pics of the truck. Classy on the reply Sir.
Try to get back to all of them, and I'll check it out 🙌
115k subscribers later ;) congrats tanner on the success!
OUUUUUUUU!! Just got my new Tomei headers and uppipe wrapped. Getting put on this weekend. Looks so good, too bad nobody can see it lol
Lol I know right! And jealous the tomei headers look so good!
Thank goodness no pigeon. Glad to see you safe and feeling better! Take care bro.
Thank you, was pumped to hear that it was not! Stay safe out there!
Setting alarm clock for 5am for a Monday morning thanx lol great video Tanner and thanx for tip on wrapping glad the pigeon plague is over prooorrrr
Lol no more piegon or plague 😅
Glad no pigeon! Yer fun tutorials teach us subie people right. Always a good watch. Thx
Appreciate the support and test no piegon!
Video starts at 4:00
they make lacing or safety wire plires that lock and spin when you pull on them. don't make the twist on the wire too tight though. it will break with vibration. not sure you need the wire in the middle sections though.
thanks for the video. the packaging that the exhaust wrap came in gave no instructions at all, so your video was much appreciated.
Great I didn't know how to do it but now I do. That DEI wrap is $$$ haha
Not cheap at all, but thr spray definitely helps to improve the life span 😁😁
I had an fp green on my 06 Sti. I loved it. I ended up selling the car but I miss it so much
I know the feels 😪
Orange dreamsicle is favorite flavor/energy drink!
One of the best flavors 🔥
I wrapped my headers but didn't have enough space to wrap the beginning so i wrapped all of them together and the ending of the headers i wraped them individually would it perform the same?
does the protectant come in clear? I don't want to paint the wrap, I like the look
Hey man so I believe the grimmspeed J pipe for the WRX is designed so that we are still able to use the OEM heat shield, would there be any disadvantages for wrapping using your technique combined with the heat shield?
Should be any issues, better heat control overall. Just have to make sure the wrap is coated so water won't intrude and corrode the J pipe over time
pigeon free and high on life :) awesome news brother!
Very pigeon free and oh yes 😍
helpful
"Dingle-dangin" haha
Glad you are feeling better, no pigeon! Not that pigeons are bad, or people who may have pigeons are bad, just *that particular* pigeon was not welcome!
Lol thank you and that specific piegon we did not want 🤣
I haven’t wrap my down pipe,header, and upipe. I should get to that😂. Glad you are feeling better. I’m running a tial waste gate which is ok. My build is such a shit box because I go budget options but it’s my shit box and I enjoy it a lot.😂 Any Subaru can be made fun even on a tight budget.
It's TRUE! And nothing wrong with a tight budget! 😁
Cool video! Would you say that coating the raw pipe before wrapping in heat wrap is a good idea? I've heard people saying this can be an extra layer of protection against water and corrosion. Also, would this be a good idea to do on the Killer B Holy Header with the SwainTech Multi-Layer Ceramic Coating option on the headers? Thanks!!
Swaintech 100%
My most recent one I cerakoted my exhaust and wrapped some of it so we shall find out
Another great video ooouuu. Just FYI, you do not need to wet titanium wrap prior to install because the material is much more flexible than glass fiber wraps.
Anyways, glad you're feeling better and didn't catch the pigeon.
Good to know, I've always wet it. But good to have some reassurance that the TI wrap does not need it 😁 and thank you, much better now 🔥
Thanks for the vid, why would you use heat wrap over ceramic coating? Is it a personal preference or is the wrap better?
Do you have to use high heat coating
just a good looking pipe
I mean who dosent like a good looking pipe!
As always great content and so timely since I’m actually going on the E train too lol. Doing mainly the same supporting mods as you on my 06 sti. I’m debating weather to wrap or ceramic coat my tomei eql header. I’m looking at swaintech or jet hot. Are you planning to wrap the header too?
Yes I will he wrapping me header also, and I would suggest ceramic coat but I'm ballon on a budget now lmao
Smeedia I definitely understand. Only considering it as a peace of mind thing. Your build is 🔥🔥 looking forward to the next chapter 🤙🏽
Can you just use the metal zip ties and leave them on? Do you use the wire to make it look cleaner?
So just out of curiosity would any dimethylsiloxane spray/soak/whatever-application work to prevent water intrusion?
No pigeon! Even went into the nest 💪💪 Ouuuuuu
We clear and safe! 🔥😁
Would hand twisted wire ties really be stronger than those stainless zipties? Ive never used the zipties so idk.
I have a question for you: I have the Grimmspeed catted downpipe on the way and was planning on wrapping it just like you did in this video. Yesterday I was at Surgeline setting up my tune appt and was talking about my plans with the guy at the front desk. He recommended that I do not wrap the downpipe. Being in the NW with the weather it can get wet and have other things down there stick to it and is just not necessary is what he said. Again he wasnt the person doing the tuning and some of the things he was telling me seemed questionable based on what Ive learned on your channel and other sources. So should I skip wrapping like he said or stay with my plan?
When it comes to wrapping if it is not fully sealed water can get in and degrade the downpipe quick, we get a lot of water up here so it's very plausible for it to happen. It works very well for heat control but also has its come backs as well. You dont ned to wrap the downpipe but either option works
Concerning the hi-temp silicone spray DEI says, "While not required for Titanium exhaust wrap, HT Silicone Coating will protect and prolong the life of the wrap. DEI recommends a minimum of three coats, *each heat cycled for curing *before* applying the next coat*. To cure, HT Silicone Coating needs to reach a temperature of 400°F for approximately 2 hours. Allow to cool before applying the next coat."
I'm worried about this curing process, have you had experience with it? How did you cure it? Wanna redo my Harley Python pipes.
Does the black fade? What brands do you recommend
So I was told that sealant needs to be cured at 400 degrees F for hours. Is that true? Also does the heat gun help do that? Im trying to do my exhaust and headers on my Harley.
Hey glad you feel better....quick question how its beneficent and can you do all the exhaust??
You can do all the exhaust and it keeps the heat from melting things or burning areas where you have no heat shields
So wait In gonna have to throw this in the oven for 1hr after each coat ?
I used titanium wrap on my trailblazer ss headers I don’t see the point in spraying the wrap afterwards mines holding up fine after 2 years going on 3 now
Stand the roll of tape up in the bowl with a screwdriver through the centre instead of laying flat so it unrolls without twisting.
did you use the silicon coating?
Would it be a waste to also paint and coat the bare metal? Want something I won't have to worry about rusting for 10 years
can this reduce resonation? reduce drone?
How long does it take to stop smelling burnt?
Lol face full of paint is always fun, happened to me on monday (user error🤣😂). As a electrician in Ri all firealarm must be painted red so its fun!🙃😂
Lol scrubbed my face for like 30 min getting it all off 🤣🤣🤣 lol I'm sure your always covered in red paint 🤣
Hi I just wonder what if I don't do over wrapping jus super tight side to ? Is that paint hight temp black paint ? Thanks.
Just wrapped the turbo manifold for my M104 and I like your wire trick the clamps are worthless
I wrapped my cat delete pipes on my Aventador S. Except I kept the stainless zip ties on. Is there a reason you couldn’t just leave them on?
Go to the point bro.
Tanner in the past: got everything ordered for the STI!
Me in the future: laughs in EJ33**
😅😅😅😅
Do you have a picture of the rest of the exhaust wrapped?
This was the only piece that I wrapped because the heat shields were removed
Yasssss no Pigeon!!!!!!! Moar videos!! And more wooooooooooooo
All the videos! I need to be able to get some.time off work to get more out 😫 but we will still stick with the schedule!!
I use worm gear clamps and wire for my wraps I hate those steel zip ties lol
Honestly, you should look into safety wire pliers. Seems that would be best for this job. Stephen Papadakis did a videk on them a while back.
Use to use them all the time when I worked in aviation, just haven't got a set yet
I just put a new exhaust on my bike that routes up the side to the tail. First ride melted my boot to my sexy new Ti midpipe. Does this stuff stay cool enough to be able to have my foot close to it?
Yes. I ran it on my track bike for just that reason. Works great. Would also suggest adding a heel guard so your boot doesn't wear out the wrap. Lots of cheap heel guards for exhaust out there.
12 minutes I'll never get back.
You put a wet wrap on then silicone sealed the water from the wet wrap under the header wrap? Am i missing something?
Hi would aluminum wire be ok instead of stainless steel? Thanks
The aluminum would become brittle quickly, would definitely suggest at least steel
Aren't you supposed to spray the pipe before your install the wrap?
Why did you crop out the most important part? You didn't show the actual tying of the end of the wrap. Through the magic of editing the stainless tie-wrap just appeared. Done.
Im re-watching this video and can I ask because im still learning about parts and cars. Why did you need to wrap your overpipe? What other components off the exhaust are you going to wrap and im assuming its prep for the turbo?
I wrapped this one because it wraps over the front subframe near some suspension bushings, the pipe came with the wrap so I saw it as an opportunity to show how to wrap. But for this piece when the tirbo parts come in ill prob remove it
@@Smeedia oh sweet. Didn't realize it came with the wrap. Thanks for that!
How about heat wrap battery cables next video
awesome video once again, I have a question with that wrap as I have a 2003 wrx with a varex full turbo-back exhaust would it be worthwhile to take off the downpipe to wrap it to try and eliminate some of the heat in the engine bay?
It would help to reduce the hear soak, but if you do decide to do it make sure that you coat it so it won't erode over time 🔥
@@Smeedia yeah right interesting i think i should definitely do that thanks for that and its crazy how your already at 12k subs good work man
Thank you and awesome to see things keep growing!
Beautiful color blue on that awesome car! What is the name or paint color code please
I watched a video by DEI that stated you don't soak the titanium wrap
Was it chrome and did you scream 'witness me' afterwards?? 😜
"Sprayed an entire can of spray paint into my face".. That must hit dedication, I'll keep watching.
DEI states that the titanium exhaust wrap is to be installed dry, as it is far more flexible than the previous fiberglass based wrap. Further, I dont know about subarus, but my exhaust gets awfully hot. Certainly hot enough to evaporate any moisture the wrap may absorb. I will say however, I do like the idea of using safety wire rather than the stainless lock ties.
A great tutorial video. The only thing you forgot to mention is WHY do you do this?
I think I know why, but a full explanation of the benefits of heat tape wrapping headers and pipes like this would have been a good bit of content to have in this video.
Should have mentioned it, but I did it because it will be in an area that can melt plastic, but for performance reasons it helps keep the heat in. Downside is that It can crack exhaust components from the retained heat
Do you think you can paint a turbo blanket? 🧐
I mean you can paint anything 😉 but you shouldent need to paint one
Is that silicon spray really necessary? I mean, is water really going to get under the warap and corrode a pipe that's like 500 degrees?.. I'd think it would stay pretty dry just from the heat..
I don't know either way, I'm asking..
I can follow the same procedure for a jpipe/down pipe right?
Yes you can 🙏
Thank you!
Cool this will cover my ugly welds.👍
I love the wrap man but one question when going into horsepower of your car (because you seem to be headed that way ) where and how do you get your OEM built block so basically who builds it and where to get it mantled
I will be building my block, probably snag rods, pistons etc through RSD or TMG and build the block in the garage.
Smeedia you will be doing a video correct?😂
You already know it 🔥😁
Any ideas on keeping those fibers from getting in your hand and fingers did the latex gloves really keep them out? Thanks
Titanium wrap doesn't have fiberglass that can get in your hands. Only fiberglass wrap will do that
Understand that but still what's the secret 😂
I'm curious, if you installed it, how's it holding up? I have a set of headers that I was planning on wrapping and I actually bought the exact same materials as you did. (Great minds think alike?) LOL
Been holding up great, no detection of the wrap and the silicone sprays kept the water out of it 👌🔥
Ceramic coat it before you wrap it. It will keep the pipe corrode free. Also DEi came out with titanium wrap which you don’t have to wet it before applying
You mean ceramic coat the wrap? Hahahaha
@@shaneintegra I wouldn’t ceramic coat the wrap. The finish product looks cheap
It is crazy how far you have come I'm one year...that sti is way way different now...great video as always
Always continuing to try and learn and improve. STIs definitely come a LONG way 🔥
