Has anyone actually wrapped (direct contact) this product around an exhaust header? If so, your experience & assessment would be much appreciated. thx

This product wasn't designed for wrapping exhaust pipes and I doubt seriously if it would work at all in that application

This CANNOT be adhered directly to any exhaust piece. This is to be used on electronics, module, sensors, firewall, etc. It will melt and burn if the adhesive side contacts any hot exhaust piping. Good luck!

I just used a tube of clear silicone sealant that I bought at Lowes. I got the idea from an old trick we used on our racing engine header gaskets. This stove will heat to about 450 degrees and the silicone holds up well. If it worked on exhaust headers it is plenty good @ 450 degrees. I hope this was of help.

It looks like it's on there pretty good. It's not an issue for me. Maybe, applying heat to the sticker with a hair dryer might work? I just did this to an old sticker on a used car I got and it worked fine. Good luck if you decide to go got it ;)

dude this exhaust is still sitting in my garage, i bought this damn thing and took it a professional exhaust shop to install it, they wanted to charge me $350 to weld a extra inch or two of metal on it. and they said the exhaust would rattle while driving, and honestly you can fix that with just wrapping it with engine wrap and avoid the clanging sound. but honest man, this exhaust is short on my g35 coupe. i need another inch-3 to get it to fit past the rear bumper so it wont melt. youre better off not buying this. and the only reason i didnt return it, is because its such a hassle to put this in my coupe in a box and sent back. wouldnt reccomend this for any car. dude this exhaust is still sitting in my garage, i bought this damn thing and took it a professional exhaust shop to install it, they wanted to charge me $350 to weld a extra inch or two of metal on it. and they said the exhaust would rattle while driving, and honestly you can fix that with just wrapping it with engine wrap and avoid the clanging sound. but honest man, this exhaust is short on my g35 coupe. i need another inch-3 to get it to fit past the rear bumper so it wont melt. youre better off not buying this. and the only reason i didnt return it, is because its such a hassle to put... » Read More dude this exhaust is still sitting in my garage, i bought this damn thing and took it a professional exhaust shop to install it, they wanted to charge me $350 to weld a extra inch or two of metal on it. and they said the exhaust would rattle while driving, and honestly you can fix that with just wrapping it with engine wrap and avoid the clanging sound. but honest man, this exhaust is short on my g35 coupe. i need another inch-3 to get it to fit past the rear bumper so it wont melt. youre better off not buying this. and the only reason i didnt return it, is because its such a hassle to put this in my coupe in a box and sent back. wouldnt reccomend this for any car. « Show Less

Hi Nigel, did you end up trying this? I'm looking to do the same thing and would love to know how it worked for you. (or if you were able to find a product with better dimensions to begin with) Thanks!

Joseph B, you will need something to keep the weight of the bags from pushing the plastic onto the exhaust. I was in a hurry and fashioned a "quick fix" with some "L" brackets and some tubing I had around the garage. Later (on-line) I found some made brackets (Dirt-Bagz), that are rather inexpensive and would be a great addition to these bags. AS

not sure I use only on header plus heat tape as far as I know it's not recommended for use with cat or mufflers but I maybe wrong check with manufacture. Good luck

Good question, my friend has tried applying it to a motorcycle as you described and his experience was a bad one. He said it took forever to buff off and even then there was a slight haze that remained. Would caution before doing.

It was a direct bolt in for my 05 crew cab le 4x4. Only think I had to do was jack the motor up about 2 inches. I did install aftermarket b pipes and cat back system so I can't say for sure if they would bolt in to the stock exhaust. With that said there were no issues with contact on anything existing. I have been very happy with these headers.

Howdy, you're are right it is a difficult installation....the good news is it does get easier (Camping World took it off to install the tow brackets on my CRV). Anyway....it rained heavily today and I drove the CRV in the rain... I suppose mold might build up under the nose mask (I have heard of that happening on other brands)...I hope not tough!

you did good, but usually i only go 18 flats and when you tighten the push rod you loose a 1/4 turn. try that..just fyi, start process with the rear intake fully open( push rod all the way up!!) adjust the front intake 18 flats, put the front intake up, adjust the rear intake 18 flats, do the same for the exhaust you should be fine!! fire up go riding!! dont worry about the bleed down, you will be fine..any questions you can call 7326008340

Mine came with a plastic lily pipe. I havent done it myself but it seems youd be perfectly able to fit the exhaust with any kind of fitting provided it's the right size. The intake and exhaust just go through your standard flexible tubing(included).

I put it on my Triumph exhaust at least 3 years ago and it has an aged look, but not bad- still looks good for header wrap

Not sure exactly but I can tell you that its not a good idea to put it onto a metal heat shield thats for or close to an exhaust manifold. Ask me how I know haha.

i ended up canceling this order...so i never received it...how ever i did go to home depot and found one...and its alot like this one....i do not use the kit for mine....i just stick my exhaust to the window...shut the window until it hits it and then pull my shade down... and it works fine...but you must discharge the hot air/exhaust outside somewhere

We ended up welding to the exhaust pipe. I might add we used this on an off road vehicle so it was shaken around alot

Stacey, good question! It really depends on your situation and the distance between the pipe. In the past, I wrapped the cable around the pipe as shown in the packaging. This year, I ran the cable upon the length of the pipe and used zip ties to hold it against the pipe, which has allowed me to cover more territory than wrapping. I would caution you that I live in Phoenix, so I'm only protecting pipes from 25-32 degrees, which is easier than when I lived in Chicago. Good luck.
