Default exhaust insulating wrap

hi all,

I'm about to buy exhaust insulating wrap for my bob, how wide does it have to be? 1" ? 2" ? or doesn't it make any difference.

thanks, tschabippe

ok,
will go for 2". I've heard the wrap is not real dark black but anthracite...is that correct? I'm really after the real dark black look for my black denim SB.

thanks

tschabippe, I like the 2" ThermoTec, I get it from Summit Racing.

Seal with their Hi Heat Coating.

It is more black than anthracite in my opinion, but not a deep dark rich black.

Two pix below. One at time of install, one after a month or so of use:

There is also a high temp paint that you can spray over the wrap to keep the color nice and dark black. It's designed for the heat wrap.
