Default Wrapping headers

I've been trying to think of anything that I could possibly do to my vette to make it better. Since I have extra heat wrap around, is this a good idea to wrap my LT headers? I don't have the money to ceramic coat them.

Wrap makes them rust out quicker, do it at your own risk.

Save your money up and send them out for a JetHot coating later.

Well, they're already kinda rusty. I was just trying to find a way to make them look better.

Take them off and paint them if you want them to look better. Not that it will last long with the heat they take.

I wrapped mine. I want to see how long they will last, compared to being coated.
