Heck Ten, I wear neoprene chest waders with the footies, Val refers to it as my Gumbie outfit, keeps me bone dry, atleast from the rain. Now the sweat underneath is another story [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
Ain't no way I'm gonna work hard enough to work up a sweat. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I have the Yosh pipe on the Z and I just took my springs off, wrapped it all up tight and punched the springs back through the wrap. It's not a super tight weave so you don't even have to cut holes for it. Works perfectly.
Would you recomend the 1" width or 2".. 1" seems like it would be easier to install
2" tape with a 1" overlap. It stretches just enough to fit perfectly around bends and such. I didn't wrap my header though. I only wrapped from the stock heatshield back to the exhaust can.

I think I used about 10' total.

The springs are already designed to be in direct contact with the exhaust pipe. If you are putting heat shield between them and the metal of the pipe, wouldn't it stand to reason they would actually be more protected? At least that was my though. I just didn't want to bury them under the wrap because it wouldn't allow me to wrap it tight and still look decent. Seems to have been fine on mine for the last year or so.
