Header wrap....
Is it worth it to wrap your headers? Is it difficult? Which wrap is the best one to use? Thanks..

I've heard they help to rot the headers faster. It will be cooler but I suppose they hold condensation.

X4, also for coated headers it is highly recommended against header wrap in the install intructions.

Is there a reason for you to want to do this?
