chevrolet banshee Posted December 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 I think I'm gonna buy some of that header wrap, wrap my headers and do my banshee exhaust. its 50 bucks a roll at shucks but its worth not having to buy air filters and spark plug wires every other ride haha.

tundish2800 Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 I zip tie my filters together and they clear my CPIs x2 cheap easy fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbcmudtruck Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 You don't have to spend $50 bucks on header wrap. I wrapped exhaust heat shield around my stingers. It works great and only costs $10 bucks a sheet. You will only need one sheet to effectively wrap both stingers if need be. I personally wouldn't zip tie my filters together. I would think that would add stress to the boots and eventually cause them to crack. Thats just my opinion though. How are you burning plug wires?

I burn spark plug wires on my pickup alot thats why i was gonna get the header wrap, and just cut off a chunk for my banshee. but rocky mountain sells heat shield, i don't know if that would work it might melt the glue if i stick it on my stingers?

bbcmudtruck Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 It should work fine. You will have to zip tie the heat shield on your stingers. I zip tied mine on and haven't had any trouble with them yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
