Ordered some heat wrap to put on my new dasa exhaust header and mid pipe, any tips or tricks on how to apply, I heard some where to soak wrap in water before applying?? Thanks

The DEI wrap instructions say to soak the wrap. I soaked mine then wrapped. Put on ties to make it stay then let it dry for a couple of days. After it was all dried I used the DEI high temp silicon spray. Seems to be holding up good after a couple of washes.

What ties did u use or what would be good to use?

civic_hatch88 · 02-29-2012, 10:30 PM

I used the DEI ties. Got everything (wrap, ties and silicon coating all DEI) from local Pep Boys.

I didn't get ties. Might try hose clamps

Heres mine

Supposedly wrapping the stock header causes it to warp because it is not titanium. It is recommended to only wrap after market titanium headers etc. I was going to do this as well, especially because it hides the fact that I have a slip-on. DEI told me that over time the stock header can wear to the point that it gets holes....just sharing...I like the look though.

What about the stainless yoshi header?

I used hose clamps I bought from Lowes, DEI came with 8 wire clamps, but I didn't like them, couldn't get them tight enough.

Yes stainless steel, there cheap, couple bucks a piece, I put one on each end, and then one in the middle where the midpipe and header connect, check my photo's you should be able to see them, then I sprayed the whole thing down with the silicone spray that the kit came with, works great, holds heat in, and has held up great, hope this helps

I also got some welding wire that im going to try. Can we bent and twisted and still withstand slot of heat.
