I plan on wrapping mine. Bought a used painted set so if its rusts or cracks im not out much. Hoping for less heat through the floor/firewall. Only con Ive been told is they keep the heat in the steel unevenly and leads to cracking. And of course wrap looks ugly compared to pretty ceramic lol

Well I went ahead and ordered the DEI titanium wrap. I've seen pics of it installed and looks like carbon fiber kind of... not that you'll see much of it anyway. As to the trapping of oil and fire issues I would say if you are leaking that much oil you have a dangerous situation to begin with. They make a spray on coating for the wrap to stop it from absorbing fluids and such anyway.

Mine were wrapped with a heavy duty fibered material, and if they somehow got wet, and didn't have a chance to dry out, you get rust.
You can taylor the wraps around each tube ok, but it was difficult to wrap around the places where the tubes joined together. So, as long as one wraps the heck out of it, with multiple layers, then it's not completely covered.
I know that folks here use what they can afford, but IMO, it looks amateurish, and I wouldn't do it again.
