Exhaust Wrap
I'm gonna do this myself because frankly, I'm just tired of spending so much on labor! AND because I feel "left out" not having done much of the work other than full tear down on this iteration of the truck.

Who's done it? I am wrapping my exhaust AFTER the exhaust manifolds - they will be Jet HOT coated - because the first foot of tubing is directly over my frame-mounted coils. I watched a few videos on it last night and it seems straight forward. Many of the videos suggested wrapping it wet. Apparently makes the wrap tighter(?)

I know to:
- Double the ends over to avoid raveling of the cloth.
- Secure the wrap with tape til done in case you want to redo it.
- Finalize it with stainless metal straps (or pipe clamps).
- Run the engine (if wet) to dry it
- Overlap 1/4 (some suggested 1/2) to maximize heat protection

Any other suggestions? Tricks?
