Default Header wrap ?'s

Has anyone here ever used it??I have BBK shortys and the guy that owned the car before me ran without a hood for a lil bit and the headers look like ****. Was looking into wrapping them or if anyone has info on getting them coated that would be awesome too. Thanks.

I wrapped mine... got a black wrap from summit..all you do is wrap them and spray some high-heat silicone on them.......they do stink and smoke for a while after you wrap them so dont be alarmed..

Not hard to do...they dont take long, but make sure you soak the wrap in water for awhile first...it will make it a whole lot easier to wrap them...good luck!

wrapping them is no good... has to do w/ exhaust scavenging, i'd have them ceramic coated

wrapping is for big hp cars that don't need to rely on scavenging or back pressure

wrapping reduces under hood engine temperatures and improves performance
