So what's the deal with using exhaust wrap? Particularly wraping the exhaust tubing from the heads to the turbo? I have an STS turbo, would this do me much good?

it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference
about how much faster will the turbo spool? Also, is there anything I should know before I wrap the pipes?

wet the wrap, wear rubber gloves. and star from back to front. this way leading edge is tucked so it doesnt catch wind and start unralving it

Thanks quik. One more thing.....might be a stupid question but I have to be sure. I have to wait until the wrap dries completely before I drive it, right?

you can drive it wet. the wrap is going to get hot and dry out anyways. the reason you wet it so it conforms better. i havent wet mine and wish i have at times. also helps prevent the fiberglass from eating you alive lol. also expect the truck to stink for a few days. it might smoke some. thats just the wrap cooking lol...all goes away with time
