50ft of wrap is just enough wrap to do it ..get it wet and have some help to help feed it through the pipes ...and you will need some high temp paint to keep it black.. i did it both ways on the bike and off i think it is easier to do it on the bike....

Wrapping the pipe makes the bike look shabby like it's a rat bike , unless you plan on drag racing it all the time i would not do it !

I guess theres the "look" on some bike but I have heard also, isn't there an issue with t-header especially cracking when they are too hot and wrapped?
