Default carbon fiber hood vs boost

anyone had experience with carbon fiber hood while using a ramhorn manifold?
I wanna know if it will damage the hood, I've been boosted for a while , but I just put a carbon hood on, and I havent drove the car since, because I am rebuilding the motor.
should I wrap the manifold?

f-r ram horn no issues, my old setup had the gate hitting the heed and messed it up a little. but now it is so old and has been off so damn many times, the well nuts are not loosening up.
