It helps cut down on the smoking while the wrap gets broken in. My buddy used a light coat on his wrap and after a hard run, hen he pops the hood quite a bit of smoke comes off of the wrap. He soaked mine after he wrapped it and I have no smoke at all...just smells a little.

Okay I have noticed alot of guys on here have some unanswered questions so here we go with the answers
1 why soak the wrap and is it nessecary...answer its to loosen uo the fibers so there more strechable and manuverable....is it necesary NOin some cases not soaking the wrap is actually better because the wrap tends to smoke more longer when soaked.
2 where do I buy the wrap at?....answer come to were I work Advance Auto Parts and pick it up rolls are 19.95 and 39.99 and 49.99
3 Do I have to use the hight temp sealer.....answer is no but i would say yes keep the wrap together over time and keeps it from unravling when it begins to harden,and it stops any smoking or smell of the exhaust ,and it keeps it even cooler and makes it full resisten to all elments so my answer woulod be yes you shpould always use it dont do things half do it right the first time.
4 were do i get the sealer....answer Advance Auto Parts
5 is titanium wqrap worth it....answer no not really but it is made with real volcano bits and thats cool to brag about right lol
6 how far do you wrap the pipe down....answer your call again as a warning the more heat you trap in the more long term damage will be done to the pipe so do it litely and only do a single layer wrap no more than that.
7 whats the best wrap out there?...answer dei for years theyve been the leader so why go with somethin cheaper that may be the same? dont half *** **** guys do it right and your car will thankyou!
8 what should I use to secure it?.....answer metal intake style clamps are the best ideas if you wrap it right then you should only need two to get the job done I would suggest doing a practice wrap to get a feel for the material have a freind help you this way when you get it done its done right not half assed were you wanna rip it apart and redo it.
anymore question postem up and ill try to answer them
