there is so much difference in the amount used is this just down to the amount of overlap?

I used the 2" stuff only. :lol: but remember my headers primaries are very long and I wrapped all the way to the cat.

I should say I did have spare wrap but maybe 10 ish ft.
And mine was wrapped from 1/2 to 1/4.
Even after 100 miles I can still smell the wrap cooking and I did go overboard with silicone spray.
