To do it properly you'll need the best part of 100ft to do the manifold and up pipe, don't know about the down pipe as I haven't done it.

I used about 60ft to do up, down pipes and headers. 1/3 overlap
Purchased from Alyn at AS performance.

Up pipe and down pipe can be done in one piece.
The headers are a PITA require a few pieces

Best way when wrapping is dampen to wrap and hold on with lock wire, wire ties and jubilee clips don't work they simply loosen off and the wrap falls off
