for those of you who have headers on your GT's and ST's how many times did you wrap the header wrap in one spot? once or twice? would there be any difference wrapping it around the same area twice? thoughts and opinions will be appreciated.

QUOTE(Batman722 @ Dec 6, 2007 - 12:17 AM) [snapback]620100[/snapback] it will rot from the inside out. i dont see how? there will be condensation in the inside no matter what when the car is off and the steel cools off, just a matter of how fast the steel cools off. it being stainless with a good coat of carbon soot, i cant picture it corroding very much or very fast on the inside, especially since it gets dried out atleast once a day at several hundred degrees for several minutes. if anything, the only issue you may run into with the stainless and wrap would be annealing the metal or welds over time, but doubt that would be a big problem since the exhaust system is well supported by the hangers on it. seriously, a real stainless header will not corrode due to wrap. its the chromed or mild steel ones that do that. -------------------- |
