Default Exhaust Wrapping

Has anyone wrapped an entire long tube header back exhaust on a f-body? I was just wondering how many rolls of 2 x 50 wrap are needed. Just debating between doing just the headers and y or the whole thing.

I've done just the headers and they take about 2 rolls.

what would you gain by doing the WHole thing? I can see the headers for heat but id think the whole thing would be a pita when it got wet it would terrible...and by the way they say one roll per header if that gives you an idea how much you would need

It is just for heat not horsepower.. If you buy the good coated wraps it holds up well in most conditions. When I cruise in sandals I can feel the heat its a small amount of money to reduce under hood temps.
