    Wrap downpipe?

    I am thinking of heat wrapping my stock downpipe as the stock shielding has rotted off.
    Is this good idea or bad?

    Whats the correct way to go about this?

        So its not a crazy idea to go wrapping then.

        What did you use? And did you seal it afterwards to prevent oil soak?

          When i done mine it did smoke slightly for first few miles and after that its stop and its just perfect.i got mine from ebay,it was less then £20 so i was not to sure if it will be good but it does the job.i didn't seal it in any way(my engine is leaks free :-))).

            It looks well, and I was just curious on the quality of the ebay stuff.

              I had mine ceramic coated, had a picture on here somewhere and it came out really nice. Personally don't trust wraps as it is a fire hazard but sure it would be fine in most cases

                Yep, keep an eye on it, as if it gets oil soaked from a leak, the wrap can catch fire.
                Just ask GazzaG60.
