Header wrap??

Can you save money by purchasing painted headers and wrapping them with heat tape.. Im looking at purchasing pacesetter LT's and ory from TSP and was wondering if that was a better route than purchasing coated and no wrap?

what do you guys think, or have on your headers...

Yah I'd also stay away from it on a street driven car. Just get the coated ones or better yet some stainless steal.
