Those wraps will hold in moisture and will cause the header to rust. I bought a car with a 1 5/8 merged bugpack wrapped header and it was rusted through under the wrap.

Interesting that the stuff hold moisture, The header gets hot so no moisture living in a dry climate = no rust. That is my case. _________________ Volkswagen: We tune what we drive.

Titanium, looks better with the ceramic muffler. I think the blue will look older quicker (being under the car & all) _________________ I think he meant "rare", as in "not well-done" |

I would go with the ceramic color also. I have to ask, I LOVE that shade of blue. What is it? _________________ 1965 Herbie Replica. 1776cc dual Kads.

Why not get them ceramic coated? I had some V8 headers,turbo housing, and 4" down pipe coated for about 140 bucks. 6 years later they still look new. _________________ Mario De Leon

I have missed seeing the red car. |
That is a fine looking automobile, isn't it?
Any idea who owns it? |
