Do not wrap them. Your headers will not be able to dissapte heat efectivly and can warp very baddly over time. Also, header wrap is like a big sponge that soaks up all kinds of oils, lubes, and greases from under your hood and can ignite very easily and cause serious damage to your car, or yourself. Spend the extra money on Ceramic Coating. You'll thank yourself in the future.
