I prefer the 1" to the 2".
Always try and get the correct steel band clasps.
Soak it in a bucket the day before and wear gloves (powdered/surgeon type) and long sleeves!
Enjoy!

I got some 2 inch black from ebay for 25 quid. seems quite good stuff. I soaked it before i fitted it. Keeps the dust off it down and easier to pull
tight. Then just fire it up and let it dry out. I overlapped an inch when i fitted it. I can touch it when iv been for a thrash and it dont burn my
finger.

Well i never knew about wetting it!
I just got the most for the least money off of ebay and it came with six metal tie wraps. 2" and wrapped it up tight. Looks good and does the
business so far.

thick.

I thought the only advantage of applying it was is that it makes it easier to bend round the tubular exhaust structure. I didn't bother with
mine and no problems....
Personally I hate those wire wrap type things, I can never get enough tension on them. Ended up using jubilee clips like in the photo
