Lets be honest we just want it cause it looks cool lol
No, just douche bags wrap it to look cool
@@mikeschneider634 And who is gonna really see it anyway?
The reason I want it is I heard it helps with temps and can increase horsepower a bit. Only reason I want it is for performance increase.
There more going on than just wrapping header. Keeping the the heat in the pipes causes more flow . Savaging, hot to low pressure. That's is what H and X pipes do all so, the H /X pipe area,is low pressure, the combination exhaust is high pressure and this effect pumps the exhaust out. The 4 in 1 pipe also causes this effect vs stock manifold. If you ever noticed under front engine car, along the exhaust pipe ,there will be an area where the pipe is getting very hot ,compared to the rest. The reason is because of the distance to the Bach of the vehicle, the high/low pressure Equalized. It stop flowing. Just like the weather ,high/low pressure causes air flow. Now ,what's really cool,is having a big busty blond in the jump seat, gigaling with beat of the engine. And then her boobs rise up when you get on it. But be safe, that someone's daughter/wife/mother, bring them home safely. How to tell when you girlfriend is getting fat? She fits into you wife's clothes. Stay thrust my friends.
I won't lie, looks is a good part of it. But the main reason for me is to stop radiant heat from destroying other sensitive parts nearby, like one of my CV boots.
Syrthdr09 Sybr i would rather protect those components by shielding them as opposed to wrapping the headers such that they can dissipate heat and not raise my engine temps
Runs out of wrap then says, “yeah we are just showing you how to wrap it”.
Informative to know about the metal going brittle.Changed my mind about wrapping a DPF
I find ties work better if you face it to pull in the tightening direction of the wrap
Now, that's a very good way to wrap a header. I can always count on CJ to do a pro job.
Thank you!
Let's see him wrap the headers so nicely while they are still in the car.
@@tedstyle3798 that's not practical.
I used your DEI header wrap on my tubular turbo manifold for years ..and for years it had a very strong smell when engine was running. Took it off and the smell disappeared. Still looking for a header wrap that I can live with.
That header looks so cute with it's little sweater.
I look forward to more videos
Can you wrap the flex pipe or at the ends of the pipe
As soon as the temp gets below 110 or i get shade in my backyard im doing this to my raptor 700. I should have went with the titanium over the looks of the black one. My leg get hot hot hot! Thanks for the tip of get the black wrap a littls wet and folding the ends over!
SiNvegas 702 Nice man I just did it on my YFZ450 and man after riding today sure does help my leg doesn’t burn anymore👌🏽
After wrapping the pipe, how soon do I have to heat up pipe? I have a bike on the lift, gotta wrap the exhaust, but I have other issues to address, so can I wrap the pipes correctly, and wait till the bike is finished before starting engine and heating pipes? How long? I am using DE Stainles
Very informative video, thank you.
Okey!
Always wear gloves ...my hands are totally cover in metal fibres from this feels like iv put my hands in stinger nettles
mine too🥲
How long does this take all in all??
Isn't the main purpose of the silicone spray to keep the moisture out. Wrap can trap moisture and cause headers and exhaust manifolds to rust very rapidly.
It is. IMO, you would spray the header with a high temp paint, wrap the header and then spray the silicon spray on the wrap.
So this is basically rock wool? Like the industrial bat insulation. Guess we can use rock wool bats for silencer core stuffing as well as it can handle the exhaust heat just fine? Guessing it's a lot tougher than the FMF fiberglass packing material.
Hi does this stick on tight
when your exhaust pipe heats up. ?
Thank you for any reply
Best wishes to all
Boo B yes, if anything the expansion of the metal will make a tighter fit
Is the ceramic coating spray necesary on the fiberglass wraps? Just curious because ive heard mixed remarks.
.
Thanks for posting this. Here you are suggesting to paint the titanium/lava wrap with the silicone spray paint but in some of DEI's material it says not to paint the titanium/lava type wrap. Which is it? To paint or not to paint the Titanium wrap? Thanks?
My thoughts exactly. There is contradictory info here, and on theire website and on theire official chanel videos. Please clarify!
He was saying you can spray it ahead of time and it will make it easier to install the wrap. You do not need to spray it on the wrapped header.
@@cjponyparts That is not actually what he says. Rewatch the video. I know I don't "need" to spray the wrapped header. The question is *can* the spray be used on titanium wrap (in order to gain the benefits of the primary purpose of the spray which is "seals the material and provides lasting protection from dirt, oil and road grim")? It would be great to be able to prevent oil from soaking into the titanium wrap and causing a fire.
*CAN* the spray be used on the titanium wrap without causing harm or is that not recommended for some reason?
@@kirkbrode @ 7:47, he specifically says, "you can spray more on top or you can leave it as is."
Probably not a bad idea to wet the Titanium/Basalt wrap as it helps keeps the fibers down when installing. Who knows if the Basalt fiber may be similar to Asbestos in structure???
I get I'm pretty late to the party, but I've been looking at titanium ceramic coated 409 stainless headers from JBA for my V6. I'm curious as to if it would be worth adding the titanium wrap on them.
Can I use this on my flex pipe to stop an exhaust leak
No
so you have to replace this wrap every 4-5 years? why? what if you don't replace it?
If it looks fine you can leave it alone. Over time the heat cycles can wear down the material and it wont be as effective.
Would this be a benefit to my 1986 honda civic?
just the wrap alone will help any car
Can you wrap headers in place? Or do have to remove them from the engine?
Depends on the car but typically they are very difficult to wrap when installed.
@@cjponyparts 69 f100
His my manifold has a flexible do I wrap that as well
Bro don’t wrap ur stock headers.
@@CorruptInfinityOfficial there miltek evo 421 mate not stock the millys come with a flexi
I used needle nosed pliers to do the same way to tighten.
Would this help an exhaust leak at the collector if I wrapped it there?
No
lmao no
Should I sand the factory paint….paint it? Then wrap it ?
If the factory paint is there I would just wrap over it.
do you not need gloves with the titanium?
GIZZMOTORSPORTS yeah you do. The fibers get in your hands and they hurt
6:38 thats a can opener
Will it save my legs from my HD pipes. Those are crazy hot.
This stuff insulates really well, it will most likely save your legs haha.
I've done it on my sportster. it will definitely help with the heat. before it was almost unbearable at the stoplight, now not so much. I think the difference in life expectancy for the wrap is heat exposure, a HD runs usually very rich what means the exhaust temp is lower and of course airflow will help too.
I don't understand why in any of these videos they tell people to cut the wrap after measuring out... lol never cut it take your time... tape the end that you're fishing through so it doesn't unravel especially on fiberglass stuff. Also don't do it super tight it can bend and warp the manifold and cause it to crack. Especially on turbo cars where the manifolds glow.
Does it help to keep the engine compartment cooler ?
Yes you will see a difference since the headers cause a lot of the heat.
This is a great thing to do to isolate heat Away from the oil filter & Starter.
That these two things specifically are Very affected by heat.
The electric wire on starter & solenoid especially Chevy starters & the associated solenoid get basically destroyed from constant excessive manifold Heat!
Making battery appear weak or low do to heat makes wire very "resistive", thus requiring significantly More electric current draw from battery.
And the oil inside the oil filter gets BOILED from the 400-450 degrees off the manifolds.
Basically destroyed in a few hundred miles due to over heating .
Then the cooling & needed lubrication oil is designed to do is lost.
This is one reason Ford used engine oil coolers & Pontiac used power steering oil coolers and most MFG used radiator use for cooling trans oil, though a
separate oil cooler is by far Better then radiator is.
.
Overheat oil in an engine turn into carbonizing material then eventually crystalized.
Natural law of thermodynamics..
Go put a $20 dollar harbor-freight thermo gun on a Chevy oil filter and looks how hot it becomes during usage, before & after the wrap!
Pontiac & Chevy Exh manifold heat kills these things and insulating heat away from these pieces is a MUST to make them last.
For the little cost to do this you can save the money and other things the heat does cause.
This should be way more popular on the older cars yet most guys over look this .
Sorry for long post...
The exhaust coming thru your headers moves much quicker the hotter it is. Wrap holds heat so the gases get out quicker.
Can someone tell me where can I get headers to buy for my 2013 Honda Accord EXL Coupe v6?
Keron Fisher - check ebay I'm sure I've seen headers for the accord on there but not sure if it's worth it.
Keron Fisher your accord doesn’t have headers. But you can get precat deletes or high flow precats from RV6 performance. That’s as close as the accord has to headers since exhaust comes out one port on the engine.
UofARollTide
Thank you very much.
Amazon, ebay,online.........STUPID
The accord v6 doesnt have headers. The exhaust manifold is cast into the cylinder heads. They have precats and a J pipe. No header
OMG you can imagine how much pain this man is feeling for not using gloves 🧤, that little fiberglass needles inside his hands 😮😲
ORHAN VIEW he wasn't using the fiberglass wrap
Myles W ok I didn’t listen well
First time I ever wrapped a header was without gloves. It was also the LAST time I ever did it without gloves.
That's why it's always a good idea to soak your fiberglass wrap in water prior to installation, helps cut down on the little bastards from getting under your skin, literally and figuratively.
LMAO at that "tool"
must not have heard of needle nose pliers
Less oks more listening
7:08 LMAO.....
ҜᗩSᕼ bruh moment
That wrap will come out in seconds. Is not exactly a video "how to do it "
I thought wrapped headers was a one time lifetime ordeal. Guess I'll be going the ceramic coating route.
We to went the thermal ceramic coating on most of the engine and exhaust parts, sure a tad expensive but worth every cent for maintenence and looks and wow cooled down the engine bay by 1/2 easy.
They lost me as soon as they mentioned the lifespan. I’d hate to pull out my headers every few years
@@Callitwhatitis The head pipes on my VROD have been wrapped with 2" DEI fiberglass warp for 7 years, no issues
@@Callitwhatitis thats why I only wrap specific parts. where things come in contact with the pipes.
Why not just use blue jeans to wrap it also why come he don’t just wrap it all the way back to the muffler
Heebee Jeebeez The heat capacity of blue jeans is very low so it will either be ineffective or maybe even catch on fire.
Are you kidding?
Bad idea
Higher rate of speed? That's acceleration......
Hey Bill. I can’t say anything negative about your involvement in this particular advertisement for DEI Thermal Wrap Products. You actually did a pretty good job of carrying Mike when it was obvious that he was struggling with the product or finding the right words to say. Maybe the recording process caused him to be a little nervous but confidence was definitely lacking during the segment.
The benefits of reduced under hood temperatures are always a plus for a number of good reasons. But when it comes to any real world benefits that the average street/strip engine could possibly use as an advantage by maintaining the thermodynamic properties of hot expanding exhaust gases to prolong the velocity as a means of increased scavenging just doesn’t seem to be very practical considering the initial cost and tedious installation labor involved to make it look like a professional installation that will actually last the 3 or 4 years as suggested by Mike.
Another minor point that could turn into a major hassle is that nearly all of the quality header manufacturers that provides a warranty with their products also makes it perfectly clear that using any type of thermal retention products on their headers will void the warranty. The reason probably has something to do with the sustained elevated temperatures when in use causing metal fatigue and moisture retention when not in use causing oxidation issues.
I do believe that when it comes to headers, you get what you pay for and there’s a good selection of cheap headers available for many 2-V and a few 4-V Cleveland applications. For well engineered 4-V headers designed to fit a Classic ‘70 Mustang chassis, the choices are limited and the price really goes up. Then comes the old school die hards that choose to run Cleveland iron high port conversion heads from the glory days of Pro Stock domination. No problem in a tube chassis car. Not so easy in a ‘70 chassis. Custom headers specific to the D1AE quench chamber high ports and modified shock towers are required.
Ask me how I know 😳. Still looking for a good header fabricator.
And the beat goes on......
wow, hands had to be really itchy next few days :D
Have anyone notice that OK everything is OK OK hahaha
Yes.
Very anoying.
OK OK OK OK OK OK OK .....Joe Peshi. "They F you in the drive threw!"
I wouldn't use any wrap It can probably deform the pipes. Just do it right and use a ceramic coating. Imagine metal that can get glowing red and you wrap it with a wrap that the pipe can't dissipate that heat. If you want to reduce Underhood temp use a heat shield to cover the header. I warn you. It looks cool but is it worth some little flow and a hole in your pocket.
Header wrap is not for cutting down engine bay heat.
4 to 5 yrs is all it last. Dont seem worth it to me with that much work and the cost .to turn around and do it again shortly and dont really give you enough benefits to justify . I'll pass
Don't wrap. Use jet hot coating
Wear gloves, after wrapping my header I was left with hundreds of micro needles in my hands, not knowing about the itchiness I touched my face around the nose and was super itchy, so long story short learn from my experience, WEAR GLOVES, LONG SLEEVE SHIRT, MASK AND TAKE A SHOWER RIGHT AFTER FINISHING YOUR JOB.
... that looks like shit
I look forward to more videos
