If you wrap anything, wrap the intake pipe with the glueless tap. Dont wrap the headers. They will not only rust, it will crack the headers.

Are you guy talking about rusting my headers or the STS intake piping? I was just going to put some rap on all the STS pipe in the motor bay. I didn't think with the coating on it that it would rust. Let me know it it will.
If it will. I will make a heat shield and put some heat rap on it.
