Get them coated. The header wrap sucks.

A guy with a V6 wrapped his headers... after they caught fire, and went through hell getting the car back together, he never used them again. Just something to think about!

Send them to jet-hot. If they're new headers, they'll give you a lifetime warranty against rust. Well worth the money.

I'm in the process of baking my headers right now. One is in the oven the other will go in as soon as I complete this post. Check out these coatings that you can do yourself. It only cost $25 and the time to prep them and cookem. http://www.techlinecoatings.com/Exhaust.htm
