LPP Stailess Headers and Y now in stock:)
I have. Lots of stuff on opposite ideas. I have heard that wrapping will rust misld steel headers but stainless will still last for years. The reason for wrapping is that you keep the heat down stream where the o2 sensor is located so you still get an accurite reading and no tuning is required for a cooler, leaner downsteam sensor. But am I wrong in this assumption?

I installed the headers last night but ran out of time for the y-pipe, The headers have very clean welds, thick flanges, the collectors are very nice. No fitment issues so far, I will let everyone know tonight after I finish the installing the y-pipe.
The temp comparisons I have seen I believe were between a mild steel header uncoated and one that was coated. If they compared uncoated 3XX SS and a coated version I don't think there would be much of a difference.
Well I know people who have not wrapped and then had to have their car retuend a bit for them. But when i come on here people seem to think that it is not needed.
The thing i am afraid of is i put them on without wrap and then it doesnt run right and i have to dump money into a tune and then just have to tuned back in two years for smog.
So I am thinking that if i wrap them while dry and then coat them with a high temp ceramic engine paint then that will keep the heat in and the paint will keep any moisture or oil from collecting on the wraping and rusting or starting a fire. Does that sound like a pretty decent decision?
