header wrap??? good? bad? worth it?

[nizzo]

anyone know anything about header wrap, im about to do my headers and i wanted to know if wraping them would make a difference???

Header wrap will void the warranty on the headers because trap water and rust the headers. After a couple years the wrap will be the only thing holding the headers together.

Header wrap is a race car only product.

ive heard it acually cooks the header because it does not let the heat out......

i researched this a while ago when doing my headers, the wrap is not a good idea. It will hold in moisture when not in use, and with hold water when hitting puddles. oxfordgt knows whats what.

had it on headers on the car i had back in 2001, had it on there for nearly a year before i did a turbo on the car..there wasnt any rust under there, and while it was neat to be able to grab a header right after running the car hard, it served no purpose that i could tell..

dont waste the money.

well, header wrap only cost like $15 dollars with shipping included so its not about the money at this point, but im really not going to be happy if in 6 months my ****zle is all rusted out
