Looks like DEI titanium is the go-to brand, but there's a ton of dissenting opinion about how to install it.
Wet the wrap? Top to bottom or bottom to top?
DEI calls for 1/4" overlap, though many disregard this.
Only worth wrapping the first 10-20% of the exhaust system?
Watching with interest. I have a turbo system in dire need of heat shielding.
Before anyone says it, I realize Swaincoating is the way to go, but it's also 10x as expensive.
Already have a heat shield for the turbo itself.
Well, I'm no expert, but I recall wetting mine and letting it dry out in the sun. I also painted the pipe before wrapping in an attempt to keep rust away.
Wet it, keep overlap as low as you can, under 1/2" (too much and the metal will turn brittle like glass and break away), and do paint it first if you can.
