Wrapping longtube headers
Hey everyone I was wondering about how much header wrap I'll need to do a set of pacesetter longtubes. I'm gonna b using the titanium instead of the fiberglass stuff. Also should I use a certain thickness to make it any easier? If you have any idea how to wrap the tips would also be nice since I've never wrapped them before. Thanks for the help everyone! Greatly appreciated

I bought the 1"x100' roll of "lava wrap" and it barely did my midtubes. I would recommend the 1" as it does a much neater job. I would say you need at least 60' per side of 1". I also used stainless safety wire to secure (looks better and cheaper than the clamps IMO). Good luck, it looks awesome.

We're talking the same stuff here . Easy to work with and holds color well.

(2) 50' 2" DEI rolls here and a bag of stainless wire ties from Lowes (I used worm clamps at the collectors). I wrapped my Hooker Super Comp 1 7/8s with about 3ft left to spare, and did a friend's 1 3/4s with about 6ft left over. Like said above, don't bother soaking it. Hit it with the header wrap paint when it's done.
