Ok, Ill give you a step by step lay out of exactaly what i used.

1 roll of 2x50 Header Wrap
6-8 3-1/2-4 inch Metal Hose clamps
1 can of 1200% flat black paint.

Disconect Ecu, Jack up car, unplug o2, take off 2 exhaust bolts on down pipe,take the 3 nuts and 2 bolts off the turbo. drop out down pipe, starting at the bottom wrap the cut end in a complete circle and tighten it down firmly with a clamp. then start wrapping overlaping the edges TIGHTLY. and go slow take your time. i was cold and in a rush and i did not account for the steep bend at the bottom and i had to wrap it all over again. Note useing the colored thread as a pattern will ensure a perfect overlap. then when you reach the top cut the roll. clap as you did the bottom. NOTE be sure to leave your self room with the clamp heads if you double then for the attchment holes. When your all wrapped i just painted the pipe black so it looks nice. Let dry and install.

Its normal to get a foul smell from the wrap for the break in peroid.
