Exhaust wrap (110 2001 TD5)

Thanks, Scott. That's a very comprehensive answer. I had assumed starting at the front but that is a good point about which way the wrap faces. Following on advice from Rick130, I have already purchased the SS hose clamps.Have you noticed any sound reduction? Cheers, 130man.

No no didn't notice any noise reduction but will be more attentive to noise on tomorrows run.

I know some of the install instructions recomend starting at the manifold/engine pipe and work back. This could however be because judging how much to use could be difficult

HI Scott. Good point about the length required.I can't do the job for another 2 weeks so I will see how it goes then.Cheers, 130man.

130man,

Just did the city run and yes I'd say there is a drop in the exhaust noise within the cabin. I'll hopefully get a freeway run this weekend so it will be easier to tell.

(note I've removed the cat converter and center muffler so my "noise/exhaust note" was above normall anyhow. but certainly tollerable. I quite liked it:))

Hi Scott, thanks for that. Looks like a double benefit from wrapping the exhaust.Cheers, 130man.

Scott - what was the brand and supplier of the wrap you used?

You forgot to tell me how fun a job it is! :eek:

What a PITA - particular with no assistance :o

I'm yet to take it for a decent drive, but hopefully it will be quieter and cooler.

Ranga ,

Interested in what you think particularly the sound.

What product did you go for?

Went for the one you linked. I reckon there's a drop in cabin noise. Not dramatic, but both the wife and I think it's made the cabin quieter. Not sure about heat drop - I have to wait for another hot day.
