Default How much 2" wrap should i order?

I am sure this has been covered before but I am asking anyway..... I plan on wrapping my v&h short shots here soon so i was looking for an idea of how much is needed. Doing a search via my phone pretty much sucks! I also want to put a little extra in the area where it makes the small to larger part of the pipe to kinda make it flow smoother. Thanks and sorry ahead of time ; )

I swear i've seen this question asked so much but it is never answered. I know because i was looking for the answer myself and every thread i've gone through i can never find the answer.

Just get the 50ft roll. You'll have a little left over but ya never know if you may have to end up rewrapping one or something so it's good to have. Wrap them from back of the pipe to front and use hose clamps. I meant to do this on mine and forgot and wrapped front to back. If you wrap back to front wind won't catch the wrap and peel it as bad. Those wrap ties don't seem to hold that well or as well as a hose clamp so I would suggest getting some from Home Depot and the like. Good luck.

You can't just buy the exact amount you need. Lol. Not to my knowledge anyway. Why the F would you do that? Always a good idea to have a bit more than you need. Good luck.

I used the 35' of the DEI titanium and had a little left, but it also depends on how far down the pipe you want it, I reckon. I just went up to the mounting bracket on mine
