Default Header Wrap

I just installed some DEI Header Wrap to keep my engine bay cooler and to keep the heat off my clutch cable. Here are some pictures of the wrap.

It will make your headers rust out a lot faster, also after a few heat cycles the stuff wil fall apart easy if you scrape it with a wrench or somthing.

You could send the headers out for ceramic coating inside and out.
