Default Header Wrap
Does anyone have any experience with wrapping headers? I have a set of Kooks on order and am considering this as much for the oldschool look as compared to performance gains. How well does it stand up. The car is not daily driven but it does get driven in the rain.

Might look cool, but it will dramatically shorten the life span of the headers.

Were you talking about the kooks stainless headers? If so, you dont have to worry about header rot like they cautioned you about above.
