Header wrap question
So I purchased borla uel headers a while back and what I thought was an exhaust leake turned out to just be airflow being more audible due to the thinner metal. My question is how big of a roll would you recommend to wrap my headers. Also I've read of people using a silicone seal to prevent a fire hazard and to keep moisture out. Is there a certain brand you'd recommend?

I used a 50ft roll of DEI titanium wrap. It was just enough for my uel headers and it was really nice to work with. Quieted down my headers a tad too. I did not seal them as it's not required on the new stuff. I'm pretty impressed, especially compared to the old school stuff you had to wet down to keep the fibers from going everywhere.
