LT wrap or spray?
I was told at a auto parts store that I need to wrap or spray my LT headers cause they will get to hot. They are bbk LT headers for a 02 mustang can anyone help me out? Do I need to wrap them or spray them or neither?

you don't want to wrap headers on a street car. wrapping headers is more for drag cars that see very little constant use. wrapping the headers keeps the heat in (yes this is what your after) but keeping that heat in destroys the headers. you just want some ceramic coated headers, or if they are stainless have them ceramic coated.

Also stainless has much lower thermal conductivity (16W/mK vs. 43W/mK) than plain ol' steel, or even ceramic coated mild steel.
Finest kind would be ceramic coated (real ceramic coated, Jet Hot or similar--not rattle-can "ceramic paint") stainless...
