I didn't take any pics. Start at the front just below the flange, and work your way back. I stopped at the rear hanger. The hard part is of course any of the bends. Make sure to check your work as you go along and redo anything that you're not happy with.

Sorry its too cold to take pics right now.

What I did was I started at the top (o2 housing flange) and I wraped 1 and 1/2 to 2 loops to secure it and then kept followind down. I stopped right behind the hangers with 1 and 1/2 to 2 loops and used a worm clamp to hold it down.

I cant remember if I secured the heat wrap near the o2 flange but its been holding up tight till now.
