Default Header Wrap on Ceramic Coat Headers

What would the out come be, if I wrapped my ceramic coated headers with High Temp. Header Wrap? Separate ceramic from tubes? Melt? Catch fire? Anyone done this with long term results?

I wanna keep my under hood, and cabin temps, down. Plus, I think it looks cool.

Long-term result: Your headers will disintegrate...

i am pretty sure that it will ruin them.
in fact i think that the instructions for ceramic headers will say that it voids the warranty on them if you wrap them due to the excess heat it creates.

Voids the warrenty. Also it will etch the fabric pattern into the finish over time.
