I plan on using the header wrap once I get my swap done. I started thinking maybe..wouldnt the extra heat kept inside the header (since its wrapped) maybe put more "stress" on the header itself?

what about coating then wrapping? thats what I planned on doing.

biggrin.gif The ultimate in cooling. That would probably work pretty well. Pricey, but well.

I'd have actually gone the coating route, but I'm not going to pull the car apart just to coat the DP as it's my daily driver right now. I am doing the wrap more as an experiment (costly one at that) to see if I'm getting heat soak in the oil pan from the down pipe passing right in front of and just underneath of the pan.
