How To Correctly Wrap Your Exhaust!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2024
- 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!

"How To" video starts at 3:50
I saw this 4 minutes to late

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.
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! 🙏😁
Video starts at 4:00
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
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. 😍
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.
Geez dude, you love to talk...
Yeah. Get to the point
Hes making content its not just a wrap video
In all fairness this was years ago. He's gotten better.
Gotta fit as many ads in as possible
Saw you comment and automatically skipped 2.5 minutes ahead 😂
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 🤣
12 minutes I'll never get back.
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.
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 🔥
115k subscribers later ;) congrats tanner on the success!
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
"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.
thanks for the video. the packaging that the exhaust wrap came in gave no instructions at all, so your video was much appreciated.
"I don't have the pigeon"
More evidence we are living in a dystopia. I understand why, but it's stupid you need to censor yourself like that.
100% agree with you, it's chilled down now with YT buy a year ago they were ontop of anything that mentioned it
Stand the roll of tape up in the bowl with a screwdriver through the centre instead of laying flat so it unrolls without twisting.
Orange dreamsicle is favorite flavor/energy drink!
One of the best flavors 🔥
"Dingle-dangin" haha
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 😁😁😁
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 🙌
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
No pigeon! Even went into the nest 💪💪 Ouuuuuu
We clear and safe! 🔥😁
I’m glad you’re good bro ! Stay safe out there 🦾🤙🏽
Thank you and you as well!
Add a Safety Wire Twist Tool to the Toolbox. Makes the job of twisting the wire a breeze and saves you a ton of time 😎👌🏼
I lost my set 😫 I need to grab another set here soon, and they're si much better to use 😅
Smeedia after moving Duty locations so much I’ve lost a lot of tools. So many that I’ve lost count 😝
@@theblueninjazx10r lost a decent amount of mine when I ETS, the struggle is real 😅
Not to be negative but you don't need to soak the titanium wrap, only the fiberglass needs to be soaked.
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 🤣
I use ideal clamps .. to
hold the wrap also ...
nice video
Titanium wrap does not need to be soaked nor does it need to be spray sealed.
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
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 😁
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
I didn't think you have to soak titanium wrap in water, as that is one of the benefits.
Tanner in the past: got everything ordered for the STI!
Me in the future: laughs in EJ33**
😅😅😅😅
So wait In gonna have to throw this in the oven for 1hr after each coat ?
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.
Got a tip for you, when u wanna get tie wrap tight put the two ends into the end of a cordless drill chuck :3 and let it rip, obviously don’t over do it lol.
Gling to have to give this a try next time 🔥
Man that wrap is expensive yes but I personally would never do it that way cause it's almost like buying a diamond ring and taking the diamond out. With these heat wraps like this I have had no issues with getting it tight. Wrap it as tight as you can dry not in water then after the first heat cycle the wrap has a harder in it that will cause a lot of smoking when you first run it but that pretty much makes the wrap a cast to the pipe or header. There is a process to doing this so look it up if you buy this wrap. I have wrapped my headers a few times due to having to take the car apart no fault on the wrap and every time I have taken the wrap off the headers it is really tight and it holds the round shape it had being on the pipe as I said like a cast. I would try the dry method before this one. I hate to see that beautiful wrap soaked in water and then painted over that nice titanium color. Not trying to hate on this video I'm just saying there is more than one way that is effective.
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!
Safety wire pliers would have made that a ton easier. They clamp onto the wire (like vise grips) and then you pull and they twist and pull it tight and it snaps off the excess. Great video keep up the good work. Yay no pidgeon!!!
I agree, I use to have a pair and linked them in the description of someone wanted a set. And thank you! No pigeons over here!!!
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!
Bro skipp to 2:10 thats when he shuts up 😂
Titanium wrap does not need to be soaked in water, it stretches, this also helps to prevent corrosion on your pipes.
Thanks for the vid, why would you use heat wrap over ceramic coating? Is it a personal preference or is the wrap better?
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! 😁
The wheel is cylindrical in shape, no one would prefer a square shaped tire from a cylindrical tire because the cylindrical tire already works great. Now the metal zip ties are already good stuff and for some reason, this dude chose the wires over it and made a thumbnail saying "the only way you should be wrapping your exhaust".
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?
Most people just paint the pipe then wrap it... constant vibrations and flexing will cause the paint to chip away. It aint making a waterproof seal like it would have if you just painted the pipe lol
I watched a video by DEI that stated you don't soak the titanium wrap
Aren't you supposed to spray the pipe before your install the wrap?
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
BIG moves on the STI coming soon. IM HYPE BRO LETS GET IT OUUUUUUUUU
haha at 3 minutes you said almost done ordering parts for this car... the future says, that was a lie hahaha. I know, I know, finished for this iteration of the sti haha
I use worm gear clamps and wire for my wraps I hate those steel zip ties lol
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!!🚙🚙
does the protectant come in clear? I don't want to paint the wrap, I like the look
I heard you're NOT supposed to soak the wrap.... I've heard everything from "soak it for an hour first in a bucket of water" to "just lightly drizzle or run the wrap under a faucet and get it damp or moist but not super soaked" to "don't get it wet at all, just apply it right outta the box". I guess the truth is one of those or somewhere in between!
Cool this will cover my ugly welds.👍
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 😪
Well manufacturer suggests to damp the tape and do not sock in water.
The DEI titanium wrap does not need to be wet to wrap since its so pliable already. Also the high temp silicone spray should be applied to the pipe on clean bare metal and baked to atleast 400 degrees to cure. There is no need to apply it to the exterior of the titanium wrap afterwards... without coating the pipe underneath the wrap its still prone to corrosion due to no moisture barrier.
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 🔥
Beautiful color blue on that awesome car! What is the name or paint color code please
How is the wrap holding you? According to the DEI website the silicone spray can damage the titanium wrap.
"While not required for Titanium exhaust wrap, HT Silicone Coating will protect and prolong the life of the wrap. Due to the difference in material from glass fiber, HT Silicone Coating soaks into Titanium exhaust wrap's basalt fiber differently and needs a few coats and heat cycles for it to adhere properly. 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."
Its been holding up great from thr last time I was under the car. Peeled some of the wrap back to make sure the pipe was not corroding and everything looks perfect still. I've always used the spray on my wraps because its so wet up here and have never had an issue so far
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 😁😁
WTF dude this is the incorrect way to wrap this particular product. Did you care to read the manufacturers instructions or did you just make wild ass guesses based on what you have seen other people do with exhaust wrap? Direct from the DEI website on Titanium exhaust wrap.
DEI HT Silicone Coating not required
Pre-wetting roll not necessary for wrapping.
Without the coating the wrap will hold water under it and degrade the pipe over time. Don't have to wrap this way, but not going to let an exhaust company degrade to rust because the wrap is holding water in it.
How'd you spray the "whole" Can in your face bro lol 😊. Watching now
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
Was it chrome and did you scream 'witness me' afterwards?? 😜
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!!
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..
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 😅
Should of watched this video before wrapping my headers…got fiber glass all over my clothes💀
Awesome man!
Thanks for the video. Super helpful and. Good info. I appreciate you.
"Ten out of ten don't recommend." That should be on a t-shirt.
May have to incorporate that one in 😅
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.
You put a wet wrap on then silicone sealed the water from the wet wrap under the header wrap? Am i missing something?
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 😁
when you said you put the air hose to the Can, I’ve done that with a can of mace 😂🤦🏼♂️ it was all bad 😵💫 lol 😅
Looking good. Glad to see your feeling better
Thank you! Feeling great! 😁
No need to soak that particular wrap. If you use high temp engine paint instead of silicone you wont have to re aply every few months and may save some cash.
Awesome man. I bought a cheap exhaust for a Honda grom. Gonna wrap the pipe and coat it same way. Cheers
Can you just use the metal zip ties and leave them on? Do you use the wire to make it look cleaner?
How long does it take to stop smelling burnt?
You do not soak titanium heat wrap, only the fiberglass bs. It wraps better dry.
Bro go buy safety wire pliers....it will have your life. Lol
I have a set now 😅🙏
Do you think you can paint a turbo blanket? 🧐
I mean you can paint anything 😉 but you shouldent need to paint one
What do you do with a car that a exhaust header get wet , These blokes just never stop yapping !
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 😂
Just wrapped the turbo manifold for my M104 and I like your wire trick the clamps are worthless
The DEI website says dont soak the wrap just wet it otherwise chemical protection will be reduced!
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
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 👌🔥
Why didn't you show wrapping it within itsellf? that to me was what was more important that the rest....
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?
Glad you're better! enjoying your channel!
Thank you and I appreciate the support my man!
Soooooooo happy you're going with the fp black. I was thinking of doing 1 as well 🤟
Glad no pigeon! Yer fun tutorials teach us subie people right. Always a good watch. Thx
Appreciate the support and test no piegon!
I use zip ties to keeo my children in place it helps me go stronger for longer then i cut the zip tie and let em fly
