Exhaust wrap ties

[samurai]

Whats the material spec of the wire that is used to hold the exhaust wrap on the manifold?

 

I need some that wont break when its twisted on

Hi, I used stainless steel cable ties, so long as you don't pull them too tight hey won't break. I've had them on my car for 18 months and they haven't budged.

yehh stainless ties, or jubilee clips .

 

stainless ties generally dont come back off again, but you dont need to, remember. if you're doing exhaust wrap make sure the wrap is soaked in water then tie it in, once its dried out (with loads of smoke to go with it) re-pull the ties and cut the ends off jobs a good-en

oh and when you twist it on, go over yourself and tie it so when you pull tighter it pulls the overlaying layers at the top of the manifold tight, then you can pull all you want, dont need ties to start wrapping, on my old exh manifold i only used ties on the bottom, the top was heald on by the way i wrapped it.

 

also when its wet its strechier, so it shrinks when it dries, tightening the whole thing up onto the exh mani =)

They do the stainless "snap straps" ties too, which are sort of like metal cable ties that you cut to length.
