Step2: Measure header pipe with tape to determine how long you need your wrap. (refer to installation instructions)

Step3:Wrap from the header down securing with metal tie wraps. (recommended to use 1" wide wrap so you can get better looking wraps)Then Prep for paint.

Hey Coastie, how many feet of 1" wrap did it take for you to completely wrap your headers? Thanks.

Hey Coastie, are the same fella that I traded my suspension with back earlier in '08? If so, Whatsup? I am loving the lowered suspension!!! Did you ever find you a standard height seat?If not you...Whatsup anyway?

thanks for doing this write up, I'm gonna use it when I wrap my headers. Any other advice you can give? It looks like it might be a real pain.

use water for a tighter wrap, old clothes you don't want anymore and gloves.
