Default header wrap

What do you guys suggest when it comes to header wrap? The paint burnt off if my pacesetters already so im thinking about wrapping them instead of painting. I live in FL so salty roads aren't a threat.

I suspect that un-coated plain steel headers would rust faster with the wrap, than without it. The wrap will hold the moisture in.

on my quad that all I do is ride in swamps, I coat the exhaust with hi temp paint, wrap the exhaust and then re spray the wrap with hi temp paint.
the first time I wrapped the exhaust I didn't seal it with hi temp paint and it started rusting the exhaust, once I sealed it it has been fine ever since
