i take it 1" wide is for tight bends? and hear wetting helps fitment

idealy as i have alot of visible exhaust out the side of my car somthing that looks half decent would be nice (black or titainium)

Got mine from CBS along with stainless straps. Iirc they do 1" and 2" rolls in 50' lengths (check their website). You'll need to calculate how much you want (dia of pipes/overlap, how far you want to cover and no of pipes.

Once on, run engine up to temp for a while cos it smokes like a lot

this is very good exhaust wrap.

it is the same fiber as dei titnaium and about half the cost. the dei is made over seas and imported in.

the stuff in the link above, the fiber is imported into the uk, and woven here. it also has a tighter weave.

it is 100x better than the cheap glass fiber stuff.

ive got the thermal velocity g force wrap.
does its job a treat but I ordered some more tyraps off ebay.
I got the 20m one and enough to do my pinto 4 branch twice.

I have just wrapped my new manifold and link pipe in "Volcano Wrap" off ebay. It's made from lava rock like the MAGMA WRAP already recommended. It's loads stronger than the glass fibre stuff and is supposed to be abrasion resistant. I bought the 2" stuff and it still went round tight bends OK. Not cheap though, but deffo better looking and hopefully longer lasting.
I put a lock wire lattice around the wrap on the link pipe to help it stay put even better.
