Nothing really. Just used to the other stuff. Wrap it wet, pull it tight, and once it dries and cures, it seems to pull a little tighter. I dunno. Just winter getting to me I guess. I haven't pulled it off and redone it, it's as it's going to get.

My pipes broke so I had them welded. Then instead of sanding and painting the heat shields that had started to rust I decided to wrap them. I painted the pipe with high temp exhaust paint and wrapped them with DEI Titanium Exhaust Wrap. I like the metallic look wonder how long it will last.

The 2 hose clamps at the rear actually hold the muffler can on the pipe

I did my Bub pipes last month, DEI but black. Same story, heat shields were showing their age, the wrap was a quick fix to dress her up.
This was my third set of pipes I had wrapped, and since the first pair I have been doing them wet (with gloves on!!!). The wet seems to stretch a little tighter and shrink on to the pipe a bit when heated up. Wet is also a little more pliable when going around those tight corners.
