Default Exhaust heat wrap

Is some better than others ? There's stuff on facebook marketplace for £10, or should I buy new from a reputable place ?
my exhaust is wrapped from the turbo down to the 1st flange and the lowest part must've been scuffed down a country lane or something as its starting to split away and I'd like it replaced.

I have my mdx turbo zirotec coated but since using there turbo blanket my engine bay temps have came down slightly

I don't think there over priced same ball park as forge turbo blankets and there customer service is pritty good stuff

alot of there products are used in btcc so tried and tested

Again pay for it once maybe be some dollars but you won't be spending small amounts over and over

I've got to wrap a downpipe shortly, probably going to get DEi 2" titanium, seems to be cheapest at Eurocarparts!! I think you'd be off your rocker to buy ebay Chinese tat, at the temperatures involved.
I've got a PTP turbo blanket on the way.

Digging about, people say get the 50m roll, but I think I might get 2 of these, and if they don't do it, it'll be simple to pick up another. But the jdm hatch downpipe is a bit longer than a newage..

ECP have a sale (dont they always) so i ordered a roll and wiper blades.
I'm hoping one roll is enough (sounds like it should be) but now I'm worried it'll take more than you'd think ?
edit: I'm an idiot, I had 15 meters in my head, not 15 feet
ordered a second pack there ( so that's 30 feet in total I'll have)

Job done. If I can give any advise, get the 50ft roll. My 15ft x2 just did the job and no more but I'd to be extremely precise with my overlap. Had to redo my 1st attempt (half and half overlap) as after the first 15ft roll I'd only covered 18" of pipe !
if anyone wants to know the length it covered let me know and I'll measure it up 👍
