Design Engineering 10198 Black 6" x 100' High-Temp Fiberglass Exhaust Heat Wrap Tape - Perfect for Automotive, Motorcycle & Marine Exhaust Systems

Used several times over the years the Design Engineering Wraps of different sizes.This time it was for the two exhaust manifolds of the V6 engine in my Jeep. For this kind of application, you will need the narrowest wrap available, as you will have to make some tight and short turns and it is difficult to cover the manifold entirely, due to shape and design.It takes some time until the stinky smell fades away; the closest to engine, the sooner. As you wrap the exhaust pipes further down and away form the engine and the catalytic converter(s), it will take longer (even weeks).So far, I am completely satisfied with the product and with the job that I did. Made the engine compartment quieter and helps the overall exhaust system to warm up faster, reducing also significantly the condensation towards the tail pipe, which will make the pipe and the muffler to last longer. [Condensation starts and accelerates rust and corrosion from inside out]I will buy the wrap(s) as needed for other projects.UPDATE: used a roll of Black 1" wide wrap for another exhaust pipe project. Can tell for sure: if you have some pipes with some tight turns, better go for the narrowest you can find, even if that means you will have to use more of it. The wider wraps are more suitable for long lengths of straight pipe and are a lot more difficult to pull and stretch for a tight coverage.I also prefer the Black wrap, as it already has the coating on it, which will make it last longer. However at the end I applied some Rust-Oleum HIGH HEAT (or Ultra High Heat) specialty paint, designed for grills. In my opinion it does a better job than other brands and it does not start to peel-off later.
