Default Header Wrap

As of now I have 421 Chikara headers on my car. As every crx owner knows, the engine bay runs hot as hell. I'm considering wrapping the headers. Will it make a significant difference?

I agree - the only thing that I've really seen them do is contribute to rust.

I got mine coated inside and out by HP Coatings. Good stuff.

yes it does take a bit to get the wrap to look/work good. But it does work, I've had it on my header for 2 years now, no rust, and no rot on the wrap. Just my personal experience.
