I'm not a big fan of header wrap.Most of the cars I've seen it on have issues with the headers cracking. I think its because the wrap doesnt let the headers disipate heat so they fatigue faster.

Also any header thats wrapped in that stuff looks like *** [:'(][:'(]

It will void any warrenty you might have on your headers and will cause them to rot out from moisture. There are some things that belong only on track cars and this is one of them.
