what header wrap?
what header wrap? I'm thinking of doing all my hot-side parts in exhaust wrap. looks like the DEI wrap has the bext temp rating, complimented by their silicone based water proofing spray. Im wondering what color you guys think looks the best ?
I just did the black header wrap on my motorcycle header pipes, its actually a dark grey color not black but it is a real PAI to install, also got the DEI stainless clamps which work good, I found using a few plastic wire ties along the way tremendously helpfull, as would have been a second person. I think these guys mean that the coated type headers just avoid all this work and don't have the ability to be cut or anything later on...
Good luck

I think what he is saying is that wrap is the wrong way to go about this and ceramic coating is a better option. It actually protects headers rather than promotes massive corossion and creating a fire hazzard like wrap.
To be honest with you, I didn't think about the Fire Hazard cause every Wrap that I have seen people use was a Fiber-glass based material, and in a way it's kinda woven to be Heat absorbant, fire resistant.
it's the fluids it traps that are flammable and the heat/humidity they trap that cause the rust.
Coated headers will rust too, where they are exposed to rocks, salt and a lot
of water (IE: under the car, past the collectors). The only way to prevent that
is to buy $tainless headers.
