to wrap or not?

OK installing my headers next week I have an A$$load of wrap left over from something else its high quality stuff. the question is do I wrap them or not?

I'll beat you over the head at the next meet if you wrap.

I thought wrap was good?

It gets wet...rusts...in the way..you'll cut your hands on the bands.. name it.

I would say just the crossover to keep temps down but that is all, wrap is good to keep temps down of course but traps all the heat on the headers which can cause or lead to them cracking/welds opening up. Just my .02 on this.

are your headers stainless??

Don't wrap them.

mayb i should keep the power log and downpipe on it woth the ceramic coated crossover.

How much heat/power do you think the wrap/ceramic is helping?
