Header wrap

That 'burnt' look of your headers, IMO, actually is a good look. Shining stainless steel headers just seem a little out of place in the engine bay, unless it's strictly a 'Trailer Queen' or show car.

The header is fine

doesn't it also help with under the hood temp

generally if you have an after market header (stainless steel) you might want to use the wrap because instead of the heat leaving with the exhaust out the back, its escaping once its in the header, causing it to stick in the bay.

and generally speaking you're not going to be putting mpre heat into your engine bay that your cooling system can handle

DIY HEADER WRAP

So has anyone on here wrapped their 4 cyl header? I started to but noticed that i only had like 1mm space between the two collector pipes and couldn't figure out a way of doing it w/o it loooking like S**T. I know not all headera aren't designed the same, just thinking about calling it a loss on this idea. Any suggestions?

Should have made considered a less bulky product to use to wrap them.

Yeah i should have just looked over my header a lot closer before hand and just decided against it. I don't think the 1" wide wrap would make too much difference. I messed around with it forever to get it to work, and for the life of me I couldn't get the other side wrapped around, just started fraying.
