Header wrap: yes or no?
I will be installing a cat-less long tube header system this winter and was wondering about using header wrap. I have even heard of people using it on the entire system. I know its a shame to cover up the stainless but you really dont see much of the headers anyway. What do you think???

ceramic coating??? nicer looking than wrap, heat effective, won't blue like chrome, long lasting, nice looking outer appearance. just a few reasons to consider it. if you're going to go to the trouble of thinking about using some type of wrap, consider it (just my opinion).

I've had it on two cars in the past.
Not really needed and ugly... looks like a ghetto spam sandwich
Another story if it's a race car, or if you have an STS turbo system.

NO....can be saturated with water and you will look like a steam locomotive once it reaches boiling point...

IMO unless your running a boosted application then its really not needed.....unless said manufacturer says to. Most popular vette headers dont require or even recommend it for resons other fellow members have stated.
