Cchris1109 whats your setup?

Jeff your wrap won't cause any problems. Just check your codes and see if they are O2 related. If they are then they were likely on their way out and the wrap only happened to be on the car around the same time. The extra heat might have added to that but typically wrap won't cause premature O2 failure. Make sure you didn't wrap the cats because they certainly don't need any extra heat.
btw how is that rear mount running?
