Default Headers - coated vs wrapped

Besides cost and cosmetics are their any advantages to coated headers versus wrapped?

Yes! Wrapped headers trap moisture and look like crap. Stick with one of the new high heat ceramic coatings to increase exhaust longevity.

We encourage customers not to wrap headers because it will damage them. Also, most header manufacturers will not warranty a header that's been wrapped. Feel free to call us if you have any questions, 443-730-9428!

I had Kook's on my LS2 and LG long tubes on my LS3 and neither were wrapped.
