I know the thread is old. In your first picture. Which exhaust wrap is that? The black? Did it harden up when you put it on the exhaust? The wrap I have stays soft and I don't like it. I want it to harden up once I put it on.

I got the wrap from my buddy at Street Tuned Motor sports. It's called Prosport. I've gotten it both black and brown colored and then I always spray it with the DEI black silicone paint and it dries black and stiff.

Any help please and sorry I know its off subject to the original post.
