I have heard of this happening, which sort of puts me off doing it.
I was looking at getting the titanium wrap, it's abit more expensive but supposed to be the best you can buy.
This is the stuff:

I paid £40 to have my full turbo back milltek system fitted on mine. I know awesome wanted £120 so i was happy with the £40. They had to do one cut on the old exhaust but ive got that so if i need it to go back on for whatever reason, i can with a quick weld or clamp

Cheers, did you do the decat/cat pipe to? Also did you wrap over the sensor hole then cut the wrapping or do you wrap around it?
no i didnt bother with the decat,not worth it imho as is under the car. i wrapped over the hole then cut a slit in it to allow for the sensor.
its surprising how much wrap is needed to do just the down pipe, i used the whole roll on the dp. if you have enough after doing the dp wrap it again as 2 layers is better than one. also word of warning dont wear decent clothes as its messy stuff
retains the heat, hotter gasses flow better, helps keep engine bay temps down. also with our style dp i feel the wrap slows the cooling process down meaning the dp will less likely to crack on the bend, this has happened a few times now. all small positive things so its worth doing imho.
Did someone just say 4 hours to fit a downpipe/decat?
I walked into a tyre/exhaust garage near mine, had a whole stainless system, downpipe, decat, mid and rear box fitted in an hour £120.. lol

Are they that much different? I know where the cat joins the midpipe its a bolted flange fitting where on the lc180 like mine its sleeved, but the rest of the system is bolt on?
1 hour for £120. They saw you coming mate. Awesome charge £60 an hour and they said 2 hours to fit on a PD.
I paid £40 but thats wasnt mates rates. Just was just normal work time lol. And the did a cracking job like everything they do with my carsThat's a shame i only paid £40 mates rates after work
yeah the lc 180 is easy. i did mine myself in 4 hours using only ramps. and this included a snapped stud and re-tap. had to cut the old exhaust out but ohwell something for the scrap man.

How much was on the roll you had? It would just be my luck that I haven't got enough.
