I was just wondering if header wraps are safe for a daily driver. Because on my dad's AE86, with a 4AG, he wrapped his headers and he later had to replace them b/c there was a big crack on on of the seams. Maybe he didn't wrap them right? I want to know b/c since the header on the 7AFE is not even a foot away from the air compressor and I don't want the excess heat from the header to damage the compressor. (That's what happened to my dad's AE86). Help please?
