Aulola 10m Titanium Car Motorcycle Exhaust Manifold Downpipe Heat Wrap Roll + 10pcs Stainless Cable Ties

Brilliant product! Bought to cover an older chrome motorcycle header pipe and genuinely really looks amazing, was far better than expected. I applied by trimming the end nice and square, starting at the silencer end working forwards I wrapped it one full turn at right angles to the exhaust to silencer flange, applied a temporary tie wrap to hold things still and worked forwards up the pipe keeping the whole tape as taught as I could - overlapping by about half of the tape (its plenty wide enough), every now and then i grabbed hold of a short area I had wrapped and tightened further by gripping the wrapped pipe and twisting with GLOVED HANDS to ensure that the tape was really tightly bound to the pipe. Once I reached the O2 sensor I applied two 2 inch strips to either side and continued wrapping in the same spiral pattern over the two strips - in this way as you go either side of the sensor there is no chrome/pipe still showing (as it'd look like a small cats eye otherwise around the sensor). Once the cylinder head was reached I did one full parallel twist and placed another temporary tie wrap. I worked again along the whole pipe gripping and twisting the wrap to further tighten. Once I was happy, I applied some stainless steel neat little jublee clips with the screw facing to the rear out of sight. Finished job looks awesome (to me at least). The tape is plenty wide enough and can easily be applied around the corners of a curving exhaust, it tightens very will without wasting at the edges with no fraying at all during installation. I would definitely recommend wearing gloves as the fibres can be quite irritating to the skin, and chuck the gloves once done.

Perfect. People make the mistake of just putting it on and moaning its melted... you need to soak in water for 5 mins. Then apply.. then start the engine and let the moisture evaporate

I have used this to wrap the exhaust of a diesel heater. It's not been switched on yet so I don't know if it works or not but I can say it has fiberglass in it, and I wish it had a warning because it got into the skin of my hands and arms before I realised. Use good gloves when using this stuff! Easy enough to apply and plenty of steel zip ties although I don't think they will last long as they're not stainless.

Warning! This product is excellent - but wear protective gear! This should include a suitable MASK, especially if you are repeatedly feeding it through/around pipework. The engine bay and my clothes were covered in a dusting of short-strands of fibre-glass. So where gloves, overalls and a mask. You won't notice the strands in the air unless you're working by torch light or similar. I'd recommend fitting outdoors on a breezy day. All this applies more so if you're removing old tape first! It's a perfect length for a exhaust on small, 4 cylinder engine (e.g. MX-5 Mk1), but is a very awkard shape. I split the 10m length in half and wound from engine to first manifold joint, then continuously back up the second pipe. That way, it only needed a strap by the engine on each pipe, 4 in total. The product is quite flexible and can be made to follow contours quite well. It does indeed smoke quite a lot on first run, but does retain a similar look (not that it's seen in an engine bay much). The product seems somewhat 'set' after that. The stainless steel ties are awkward to tighten well, but only really need to hold the loose ends in place. Use a flat screwdriver as a lever between pliers (gripping the band) and latch of the tie. Oh, and wash your clothes separately! And rinse the mask carefully! That stuff gets everywhere!

Great rap easy to fit

Very good wrap, i wrapped my 2stroke exhaust with it, it looks incredible.

Underbonnet temperatures are critical in a Lotus Europa and the exhaust can be a source for fire so I used this wrap on my 1970 Series 2. Like all these wraps, it's relatively easy to apply but you do need to keep your arms and hands protected else the fibres will cause itching. Maybe a mask too, to protect your lungs. The enclosed stainless steel tie wraps did the job, although they are a little fiddly to tie and you have to be sure you've got the tension right so that the wrap doesn't come loose on the exhaust. Overall, I believe that these were a success and protected the vulnerable parts of my engine bay. Particulalry when you consider how reasonably priced they are.

Ok product, but for 10 meters of wrap got barely any zip ties, about 5...!! Also If your going fit this product yourself where gloves got so many splinters. When wrap was finish my exhaust was smoking like mad, my bike was like a steam train going down road, I guess it's ok for the price and how much you get, but there is better out there.
