Default Header wrap is bad

Here is a link I found that makes a pretty good point as to why you should coat a header and not use header wrap.

Make a compeling point.

Excellent points ! The coating does two things INSIDE the header: 1.Provides a smooth surface for better flow. 2. Prevents the header from coroding from the inside out.

So according to the article, a coated, mild steel header is better than an all stainless steel, uncoated one huh?......Wow, interesting.......I'm happy with my FLP's.....
