    my exhaust is blowing pretty badly, been told about a metal wrap sort of thing that heats onto the exhaust, any other options?

    Other options depends on where its blowing but most likely it needs a new gasket. Don't bodge a job, it'll only come back to bite you

    Find out where its blowing first start the car put a rag over the tailpipe which will force the gases out of the hole wherever it is.

    the exhaust wraps don't work. Weld or new section.
