How to Install an Exhaust Heat Wrap
- 1). Lift up the vehicle using the jack and place it on jack stands. Make sure the vehicle is secure before you crawl underneath it. Allow the vehicle to completely cool off before working on the exhaust.
- 2). Slide underneath the vehicle and locate the exhaust. Take the exhaust wrap and place the end of it onto the exhaust. While holding it still with one hand, loop the wrap around the exhaust, forming a perfect circle around the piece of wrap you're holding, securing it in place. Then wrap the material around one more time, this time, weaving it down the exhaust at a 45-degree angle.
- 3). Connect the hose clamp around the end of the exhaust wrap where it makes a circle around the exhaust, and tighten it down using the flathead screwdriver. This will keep the exhaust wrap secured on the exhaust tubing, and make sure it doesn't wander.
- 4). Continue wrapping the material around the exhaust tubing, making sure to pull on it at each rotation to keep it tight against the tubing. When the wrap is about to run out, wrap it around the tubing in a circular motion like in step 2, and then secure it with a hose clamp like in step 3.
- 5). Repeat steps 2 through 4 for any additional exhaust tubing you want to wrap. You can also do this with your headers if you like, which can help aid in performance gains.
