So I finally got all my bits and pieces to install the heat wrap on the Invidia Q300. I wrapped all the pipes apart from the Y-pipe because I'm waiting to upgrade it to the new re-designed ones (and I don't want to run out of heat wrap) anyway enjoy the pics and bare in mind this is the first time I ever wrap anything so go easy on me :

Below shows the difference between how the wrap looks before spraying and after spraying:









Just waiting for the X-pipe to dry and I'll be spraying it tomorrow:



BTW I'll be cutting the excess clip ends before installation

 

Where did you pick up the heat wrap? I've been trying to track some down without any luck.

 

WOW! Thats a great job bro.
Cant wait to see how it sounds.

 

Nicely done, i didn't wrap my x-pipe, but i'll wrap the new one when i get it.
How did you do the x-pipe anyways, seems so hard.

 

I think I got mine from here: http://www.thermotec.com/ but loads of places sell them, just type thermotec heat wrap in google.

Thanks, the x-pipe was a bit odd due to the welded section in the middle, but I started off from the back on one of the pipes and wrapped up to the weld, then I just overlaid one roll to the other side just to cover it from the top, I sat there thinking about it for a bit and figured not a lot of heat will be coming out of there so it should do, it's just the welds and a bit of the pipe not covered from the inside....does that make sense?

 

stupid question but... what is the purpose of heat wrapping?

 

lol this is the second time I answer this question today:

 

"Oh I see" said the blind man to the deaf man as he reached for his hammer and saw.

 

Finished spraying the X-pipe today, can't wait to fit them:

 

The pipe quality and the heat wrap job is great!!

 

Cheers buddy

 

Awesome job, anticipating to hear the final results...

 

Looks good, hopefully it will cut down some of the rasp.

 

waiting to hear the wrapped Q300

 

I'm installing my JIC Coilovers today, and then I have work for the rest of the week, so I think I'll be installing the exhaust sometime next week.
