Tonight when i get home, im gonna attempt to wrap my new shorty header and my new hfc. Can any1 give me any tips/ how-tos do this properly? All i know is its easier to use the wrap if u dip it in warm water.

[duh]

that's it.... and just make sure that it's tight and then when your finished use a high temp silicone spray for a protective coat.....then your done....you can either use hose clamps which are used by alot(should re-tighten after a few trips)or you can use s/s tie straps(these seem to work well too but cost is around $1.00 a strap)....that's all I got...pretty straight forward..GL

yea that should be plenty

 

[scrammer]

it will be enough for the shorty AND HFC. most of us can make a 50ft roll do an SVT header. so you should be good.

HaveBlue83 did somewhat of a how-to on this. check it out in the how-to archive[thumb]

hey when ur done, let us know how it was, since shorty headers are harder to deal with... tight spaces, and make sure to post some pictures!


Enjoy!

ya shorty headers are a pain but when done right can look great...take your time and give us pics

i attempted it... failed.

Bolts are in horrible conditions. I think im just going to go and take it to a shop or maybe to our garage day for MA.

thats a bummer man! how is the wraps?

hey i beleive shorty header can be done but a pain like waht badass said. the way i think it should be done is... thread enough from the top peice where you can do it reserver... can you picture it?> instead of wrapping while un-rolling it, you gunna need to cut enought to do 1 pipe at a time, and then insert and wrap.. when you get down to the 4-1 part, leave it loose enough where it can be covered with another round about at the base.


if you can picture this? then i htink it will work, i never done this but i was thinking of it for a long time!

mr bunna has it right cut the wrap in strips enough to do each pipe seperately, as for the bolts pb blaster and a propane torch is what it took for mine, just take your time and all will work out. the wrap itself is a great tool but is much harder on a shorty header... i will look for that how to and post it up.
