Default wrapping coated headers?

Is it dumb to wrap coated headers? i've read its not smart. Reason i ask is b/c i recent had to fix some holes in my headers from chopping off the AIR/EGR emission flanges, and thought it would look cleaner w/ header wrap.. any info?

headers are pacesetters, coated

I wouldnt.

Header wrap looks trashy to me anyway, but it holds in heat and moisture and neither of those will be good for your pacesetters.
