Wrong section, but its easy, buy some wrap around £20-30 and some metal jubilee's. Take manifold off, wrap it up and put jubilees in place to stop it unwrapping and hold it in place. Easy as A B C

Wet the wrap before you apply it - chuck it all in a bucket of water.  It will tighten up much better when it dries.

Wrap so that the trailing edges will be out of the wind - pointing backwards in the normal direction of travel and tie it off well at the end.

Not much to it, really.
