Headers and starter heat reflective wrap.

Anyone using a heat reflective blanket with stainless uncoated headers? Do they help with making starters last longer? Or is it unnecessary?

I wrapped mine with DEI cool tape. It worked very well because I was having similar problems.

I've had SS LT's for 7 years now, and haven't had any issues with cooking my starter. My starter is factory original (with no thermal wrapping).
