kooks true duals/tape. Guys running kooks true dual exhaust system how much heat shield tape tall put on the gas tank? Did it come with any at all to put on the gas tank? I will get the exhaust in today but I'll be at work when it comes. Need to know before I go in do I need to order some tape cause next weekend I'm planning on our ring it under my car... I asked Jake but he went with 100 bucks piece from heat shield. I'm trying not to spend that much. Thanks

One dude had it a little close to the tank, melted a piece of it. When you install the kooks true duals I believe some of the stock aluminum heat shields come off to make room.
Have mine sitting in the living room, it comes with a 6in or so strip that stick on the gas tank.
That being said, when I dropped my tank I put aluminum tape two layers thick on that entire 1/4 of the tank.
Should be fine with the piece that kooks supplies.

I'd like to think they started adding tape to their kits thanks to my mishap.....lol, what a mess that was.
I might be splitting hairs, but just to be clear, this isn't just tape....it's a sticky heat shield "mat". (Heatshield Products). I taped the borders to prevent fraying.

So I got the exhaust system in. Really nice exhaust system. Only complaint is that it only came with a foot of heat tape. So I order a 15 foot row from summit racing. What do tall recommend cleaning the gas tank with before applying the tape ?

[QUOTE Another option you might consider prior to installation is wrapping the pipe themselves with header wrap in the area closest to the tank.[/QUOTE]
I thought of doing exactly that but ended up leaving the heat shield in and just trying to bend it up out of the way, not successful for me, still hits and rattles.
