Default Ghetto Exhaust Wrap

I need a cheap and fast solution for exhaust wrap.

Fact is, I need some, I just got done over the weekend with my turbo install and my downpipe is really close to the oil return, and my oil TO line needs exhaust wrap as well. I've heard of using winshield visors (for when its really sunny and you dont want your interior getting hot as *****) will this stuff work?

Ciao,
Shawn

buy some fiberglass weave tape stuff from a fiberglass store..


see the 1" roll on the bottom, get some of that and wrap your pipe up, then use some metal zipties to make it stay.

good luck.
