Default Wrapping Headers
Wrap, or no wrap brand new full stainless headers? I've never wrapped a set before, always ceramic coated mild steel in the past. I know wrapping them will help under hood temps a little, plus help protect wiring and such.

Pros and cons?
Which wrap?

No wrap, it catches and traps moisture and debris. If anything coat the headers.

When I was younger, I used to do that, but when I got married I didn't have to anymore...
