Time to bump this, what time are you going to KSA? Did you get some heat wrap for the exhaust?
Come on, we need some pics.

lol, nope I'm still in good old London, I was supposed to be leaving Friday but I can't find a confirmed booking (even better for me ) I'm delaying it until Monday hopefully. My Exhaust "should" be at my house, I need to call and check, as for the heat wrap it's being delivered, but I dunno man I'm a bit worried about wrapping it up with those strings

the ones I ordered were these: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/TH...3/?image=large but the ones you showed me on your exhaust were these: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/TH...0/?image=large. So which ones are the correct ones?

Lol, i'm wondering if you drank something by mistake , the ones i showed you were my Injen CAI, i guess you mistaken about them and thought they were a y-pipe, you ordered the correct one.
Here's another happy person with heat wrap installed:

Can't wait for you to get back, i used clamps to tighten them, don't use cheap methods like a steel cable or something, use 60mm clamps, you'll need12 60mm clamps.

Oh I thought you were showing me the exhausts, Wait now I'm a bit confused, how exactly do you get the heatwrap to stick onto the exhaust?

Just wrap it like you wrap a bandage on your arm, i'm sure many people did it at KSA, just ask them when you get there, or search google images for "heat wrap", here's an example:

Or basicly that's how you wrap it, you should use at least 3 clamps per pipe to make sure it won't fall or anything would happen to it:

oh yeah you're right, it was the CAI that you showed me a pic off. I rememer seeing a glue spray sort of thing that you can spray before applying the heat wrap. I'll see if I can find any

Nope, there is no glue spray, there is coating spray paint that's also heat resistance, i guess it comes in 2 colors, black and silver.

Anyways you have to spray water on the heat wrap to make it more easier to apply, then yopu wrap it near the flang (see above pic) and start wraping it around the pipe and make sure you tight it hard while doing it (you must have someone to help you, in my case my wife helped me), when you reach the center of the pipe you must add nother clamp and tighted it over the heat wrap and continue your way to the end of it, search youtube and google on how to apply heat wrap to your exhaust.

I forgot to tell you that you'll have a smoking issue when you start the car and the heat wrap well start to burn, the smoke well go off after 15 minutes of driving the car, i would recommend the highway, here's what'll happen when you start the car with the newly installed heat wrap:


And here's a link with (How To) install heat wrap, you can do more search:

You won't find those, you should instead buy 60mm or 75mm hose clamps, but i prefer 60mm since they are perfect and exaclty the same size as the pipe (i'm using them).




P.S I'll hate you if you stay for another week .

Humm, I didn't want to us clamps just incase they end up rubbing against any other metal parts. I'll buy a few of both and see how it goes.

Reason I can't leave yet is because I can't find a booking back, all flights are booked until next Saturday so you see it's really out of my hands

They won't rub at all, don't worry.

I've made sure and confirmed that we have headers just like US spec.
