Thanks a bunch!

Advance Auto Parts carries it for about the same as it would cost to get someone to ship it to ya, I think.


Here's a link:
http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/Pro...goryCode=3638B

$35 + shipping

do you typically use the paint on yours then? i also like the "faded" look of some of the cheaper stuff, but i don't want to run into water problems later on.

I used DEI 1" X 50' was around $50.00 Cdn. I am glad I didn't use the 2" as I think it would have bunched up in the curves. I soaked it real good, took my time and wrapped it damn tight. No paint, I like the faded look. Good luck! And Yeah...wear long sleeves and *****ty clothes cause it can get messy.

Just for giggles, when y'all say "soak it real good" you're referring to 'soak it in water' right?

Yes, you can get it wrapped tighter if you wet it real good and kinda stretch it as you install it. It actually contracts a little as it dries so it will be nice and tight on the pipes.
I have not tried this yet, but mine is installed on a car header. You don't have anywhere near the wear issues when it's safely under the hood away from weather and wind. Mine still looks brand new.
