Hi All - Help wanted!

I seem to recall that people soak the exhaust wrap material in water before they wrap their exhausts...

Is this the done thing, or am I just Half-remembering a bit of mickey-mouse nonsense???

Cheers in advance!
Steve

you have email and U2U

I didn't bother when I did my mini, just wrapped it dry and used the proper stainless ties. It's been fine ever since. Be warned, it will smoke like a right whatsit on the first warm up.

My post, about ninth post down.....

Smelt of cooking cookies when I first drove mine with the exhaust wrap on!! Made me very hungry.

For the record I just wrapped mine dry and used big jubilee clips to secure it....

If you do it dry wear a dust mask.......

I did mine wet and wish I didn't as quite alot of the blue dye came out and now they look quite faded and the stainless tie wraps with the little ball bearing mechinism didn't tighten up well due to being wet also.

Had to do one pipe later and did this dry and although not as tight is a far better looking job imo

Cheers
