Super Slow SS

I know there are some things to bean count on and some things not to. This to me just seems like one of those places you can kind of cut a corner and not cause any damage, so just wondering if anyone is running the generic stuff and how it works vs the price.

I have found 2"x50' on the bay for $25 bout half the price of 25' of HEI, just wondering if the stuff will work and hold up.

Probably the same place, how does the stuff work? Is it falling apart or anything?

I had gotten some a year ago and worked great for the price. Mine started tearing up from abuse and i didnt use the heat wrap spray that you are supossed to but should last if you take care of it

Yep I'm gonna use that high temp silicone coating on mine to make it last

I used the cheap stuff when I wrapped my pipes when I had the STS on the truck. About 1 1/2 to 2 years, it started coming apart on the crossover. Then when I built my front mount, I used a DEI kit with the silicone spray and now about 2 years later, it's getting weak and starting to come apart in places, so I don't think it makes a big difference. I doubt there are may guys on here that DD there turbo stuff as much or in as bad of conditions as I do, so there is some "real" world DD examples for you.

i fully header wrapped my remote pipes front to rear ,and covered the header wrap with HVAC aluminum/SS FOIL tape about 3 years ago....it hasnt lost a strand of the wrap!!...occasionally the foil tape will fray from the adhesive failing but a fresh piece on top and a hose clamp and its all good!!...i use this car almost everyday rain or shine...i do not worry about waterlogging the header wrap because the rain cannot penitrate the foil tape.
