it's just a wrap but I'm not sure if it's worth it since I just put it on. I think it was $30 but I went with it since these starters/alternators are exp. and keeps it cooler. I shall see

mk, so i came across this today while i went to advanced auto, they checked my codes and saw that my car had a misfire..so i was like WTF? lame. so i checked the engine out and theres a wire right on a header pipe, so i moved it so it wasnt hitting it and it stopped pulling that code - maybe same? idk.
