need more than 15ft for downpipe. it surprising how easy and soon it gets used up. i think i got 30ft and done the whole downpipe up to the cat back exhause clamp. cant remember what brand it was but was expensive as ive only read bad things from the cheap ebay wraps.

Any thoughts on the one in the link? If the sales blurb is to be believed it would appear to be good.

Did you use 1" or 2"?

sorry didnt look at the link before. yer thats the one i have. i used 2 inch tho.
15ft should be ok to get you to the cat but depends how much you overlap really.
i did get some cheap ebay sh*t and was crap and itchy. but this one felt really good quality and no itchiness when wrapping it. also didnt have to soak it in water like you do with some.
