best stuff to wrap line with??

I currently using this plastic stuff that wrap around the wires(the stuff all the honda guys dress there engine bay with). Well I personally think it looks like ****. Does anybody know if I can get the material that wraps around the o2 sensor wires anywhere? if anybody has any suggestions it would be apreciated. thanks

Yeah, any auto parts place should have it. It's just black tubing that shrinks when you heat it.

A tube type wrap ,you will need to remove the connectors to slide the tube over the wires . Try the split type and carfully wrap it with black tape .If that does not do it for you then you will learn to release the wires from the connectors very quickly . The green connectors will break very easy so be carfull with them.

Are you trying mainly to protect the wire? If so pick up some DEI heat wrap, summit racing carries it, they make a special wiring tube thing that you can slide over the wire, its not especially pretty, but its not really ugly either, and it'll protect the wire real good...

ok, I bought some Srectre fyrebraid high temp sleeve from jegs(its actually for spark plug wires I think) It looks very nice and it resist heat. The only problem is that its to small. The haltech wire will fit through it but it will be a pita to do it. Im going to think of something though.

get the dei like bmike suggested then look for steel braiding engine dressup kits. They come in any tube size and rolls so you can custon the braiding to whatever length you need.
