?'s about header wraps

Do you really need to get your headers ceramic coated or have a wrap on them? Will header wraps void the warranty on the headers?

headers have warranties???? wrap has been said to make headers rust quicker.

Exactly, and have been known to be fire hazards.

Okay, I won't get the wraps. But is it really worth the money to get the headers coated?

I would say yes. I wish I had, now I eventually will since I have another car.

They keep under hood temps down, performance
help protect plug wires
no rust
look better too

Wraps can keep moisture under them rusting out your headers quicker. The best thing to be done is ceramic coating. Jet Hot does a good job doing this and makes them look great too
