How many here have used header wrap over coatings?They say it will make the metal brittle over time.

WHAT say you?

 

and rust out real quick. stick with coated...

 

If you live in the rust belt then that stuff will rot a set of headers in a year.

They hold water in against the header. Not a good thing.

 

You read the coating sites and wrap is junk, read the wrap sites and there product does a better job.They overcome all the objections on both kinds of sites.I dont live in a rust area.I am temped to go wrap after a lot of reading.

 

Theyre your headers man. Up to you.

 

Jet hot wants 200+ and so does the local guy.Seems pacesetters dont charge much when you buy theres.

You guys know who does a good job at a reasonable price?

 

Just another tidbit...a lot of header manufacturers will void your warranty if you use header wrap. Might want to look into that before you spend your money.

If the warranty isn't an issue,you might want to do some research and try to find some proof of notable gains using the wrap (good luck).

If you think the claimed (key word 'claimed') gains are worth the money, you have to decide if the chance of them rusting is worth it.

 

You are correct sir.I think anyone who wraps are on there own.F guys and vette guys seem to be more likely to go that route.

 

If you plan to keep the truck for a while, I would send the headers to Jet-Hot. You won't have to mess with them again after they are installed.
