Re: header wrap
I've been told to stay away from header wrap because it can overheat your headers and make them crack. Just thought you might wanna know.

Re: header wrap
I got the kit from summit racing DEI-010110. And it was more then enough, Only used half of it. I wouldn't use it if the car was a daily driver but for a weekend/fair weather car I would recommend it!! It will eliminate your header warranty but works great for me.

Re: header wrap
I found a good way to secure the wrap is with stainless steel
equivalent ty-wraps -- available at Home Depot/Lowes in the electric
department. Even available in several lengths.
I used the new copper wrap, on top of ceramic coating. Here in S. Tx.,
I need to absolutely minimize eng. compartment temp., so I can stay
cool on the I-45 parking lot in Aug./Sep.
Good luck.
