Down pipe wrap

I have a down pipe coming to install. Looks like it will sit close to that boot on the steering. Should i get some of that heat wrap and wrap the section near the boot ?

 

i havent heard of an unwrapped down pipe damaging anything

 

Thanks, i wont worry about it then. Anyone know the bolt sizes on the turbo and mid pipe sides ? Be nice to have them in case i need them before i get it apart.

 

its either 12mm or 14mm..heck almost everything on the car is 12mm or 14mm

 

The top 2 bolts on the downpipe are 17mm for me, and the 3 around it are 14mm.

 

You don't need heatwrap there. I have a downpipe with no wrap and its fine. The wrap can also destroy your pipe sooner by corrosion. The moisture can get trapped in gaps and rust the crap out of your pipe.
