I went to advanced auto and bought DEI Exhaust Wrap. Its like $45.00 a roll.
It took 2 rolls, but it didn't quite make it all the way to the collectors. Make sure you wear gloves, because youll get insulation all in on skin.

Yeah it took me (2) rolls of 2"x50' wrap to cover from the off road pipe to the end of the exhuast. A local speed shop sells these in a kit of (2) with steel tie straps and a can of spray paint to protect the wrap for 80-90.00. Car runs a little hotter but it defently makes the turbo spool quicker.

The thickest best quality I've seen is "cool it" exhaust wrap. The major suppliers carry it. It is much thicker than the others that I've seen anyway, and I've tried several.
