   hi all, just a quick one,
   ive just had my janspeed 4-1 mild steel manifold fitted on my vtr and was that eager to get it fitted i never thought about getting it heat wrapped.
   can it be heat wrapped while its fitted to the car.
   cheers all

   so it can be done then while the manifold is already on the car, also how does it stay on the manifold, ie stick or sumet and does anyone know if you can get this stuff in a blue colour.
   cheers again

   Think you can get in a few colours, not sure which...
   Use steel cable ties to fasten in down matey, tbh i think its the only way to hold it in place due to the heat

   pah stop being afraid and take it off and do it much easier imo, its only 2 bolts under the car from man to centre section
   
   maybe the dipstick top half removed, thats a 10mm bolts
   
   and 13mm for the stud nuts
