Kirk Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Kev.O will probly have a better insight on amount you need.... i cant say ive used it myself or how much you get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 awh right lol, thats no problem. Do you have any idea how much wrap I would need.? I used 50' of 1" on a single turbo tubular manifold, which should hopefully give you some idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Ali, I've googled the autobahn manifold and the picture isn't the biggest, but if I were you, I would get 50' of 1" as it's easy to get between the runners and either 15' or 25' of the 2". I'd say 15' but I don't want to be the one to get the blame if you run out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SupraGTE Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Sorry to jump in but are there no negative effect with heatwrap? example cracking of manifold? as i was going to my HKS manifold but was advised to not do, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 My old SP manifold was wrapped and never cracked (and it's inferior to the HKS IMHO) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SupraGTE Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 My old SP manifold was wrapped and never cracked (and it's inferior to the HKS IMHO) ok, maybe i will wrap mine also then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 SP manifolds are pretty stout bits of kits so i wouldnt expect them to crack. Saying that i cant compare the 2 cause ive never had a proper look at both SP make some awesome intake manifolds also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 ah that clears it up then I would of though SP were a lot better than that! the devided manifold has definate design flaws that need addressing then but oh well. I guess it doesnt hurt to pay the extra premium for the real deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 whats the stuff priced like kevo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 whats the stuff priced like kevo The product isn't cheap in general, but I found them to be pretty well priced. If you buy from the online shop, you only pay a maximum of £8 delivery. I got three free sweets in my parcel today, what a deal maker Cam auto developments ebay shop.

jevansio Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Got mine from CAM too, also get free Haribo with every order Just wrapped my downpipe this morning, used a jubilee clip at the free end to ensure it's super tight (Hodge's tip), put a metal clip at the other (even though the wrap itself holds it). I'll use some 1" left over from the manifold to do the bit the 4" drops to 3" later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 That's very tidy Jay. It is possible to wrap the neck of the downpipe, but it is pretty tricky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started at the wrong end bud, it'd have been easier if I started at the 3" neck, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
