    It isn't leaking yet but the front head where the big bend is cracked on both sides.
    so now my option buy a wrapped used one from extreme or just weld mine then wrap it.
    anyone know how much a new one is?

    For those who have wrapped there 1" or 2" better
    and how much of the 25 or 50 ft roll did you use?

    If your taking it off to weld it throw you a bung on the front pipe for a 02 sensor for your future tuning needs.

    I used 50 ft of 1". the thin wrap makes it easier to make turns

    A lot of guys are switching it with a toggle or using a LC1 wide band controller. Easy stuff and the information is already out there.
