I just got my set of obx long tubes today and was thinking about using hearder wrap to prevent the plug wires from getting melted, are there any reviews of this out there?

 

Most of what I've heard has been negative...besides being a PITA to install, it also allows moisture and junk to get trapped between it and the headers, promoting more corrosion. Plus, it may cause clearance issues as it's fairly thick. If you're concerned about the wires, I'd suggest some of the spark plug wire sleeves (there was a recent thread about em I believe), and/or a set of MSD or comparable wires. I ran both the stock wires and MSD's with my Gibson shorties, and the MSD's with my current StainlessWorks LT's with no issues.

 

Just make 2 longer wires.

 

Ditto to what ^^^budhayes3^^^ said.

 

i have wrapped headers before and if the plug actually touches the header it will still melt the wire a bit, just not as bad it can. i can show you a picture if you like, never affected the truck because it never burnt the whole plug boot. this was on another chevy truck i had.

and yes it sucks to wrap piping. fibers everywhere itchin and long peices of wrap pulling through.

 

I have never made wires b4, is there a write up on it or a kit, I plan on running msd 8mm wires. thanks

 

You might check the OBX warranty. A lot of header manufacturers will void their warranty if you wrap them.
