    searched around and didnt come up with much. so far i have seen two major choices, thermotec and dei. anyone know of, and maybe prefer a different brand header wrap? how do you wrap your exhaust, and what do you use to paint it.

    I wrapped my headers and posted it on my build. Most people responded and said they was against wrap because it rots your headers out really fast.

    Just get them ceramic coated and be done with it.

    id coat them too, but im on a budget now and this car will never be driven in the rain so i wouldnt be worried about the headers rotting. im assuming you used thermotec or dei wrap?

    Vht ceramic rattle can paint, works excellent. Even if you wrap them, spray them with vht ceramic first.

    I used the DEI black wrap with their silicone coating. Holding up well.

    grnd effct it looks like u have a hp turbo kit like me thats coated and see you still wrapped it. I was told not to wrap the coated pipes by them yrs ago. So your having no negative effects from this? Did it reduce your under hood temps noticably?
