Default opinion on headers

whats everyone's opinion on wrapping headers? i'm pretty sure it voids the warrantly, but i dont really care about that, cuz those bast*rds are never coming back out lol. is it worth the time? should i have done it before i put them in? just curious, cuz i was looking into doing it.

I tried header wraps. Its not really worth it in the end. Just get a good set of headers( long or short). Youll be fine.

Exactly, big reason why the headers you have now were in such ****ty condition.

if you wrap your headers it won't be long before they'll get holes in them from rust. if you're worried about heat then get ceramic coated headers. i saw a post a while back from a guy that wrapped his and within 6 months he had 2-3 holes in each from the wrap.
