i have a 97 type r and i bought some dc headers i want to wrap them will it hurt the headers and is there a logic behind wrapping them.

 

Exhaust Wrap might create more horsepower and reduce under-hood temperatures. Wrapping headers maintains hotter exhaust gases that exit the system faster through decreased density. Increased exhaust scavenging is produced, along with lower intake temperatures.
But if the metal that header is made out of is anything less then quality it might rust faster then uncovered. Ceramic exhaust coating might be the better choice.

 

it is Ceramic coated but i wrap it as well. so the header is Ceramic coated it will not hurt the header if i wrap it as well.

If it's already coated...

 

it is so what will happen to the header

Supposedly you're flat out not supposed to wrap a ceramic coated header...because of cracking, if I remember correctly.

 

anybody have any more info on it

as stated above, it'll overall help but its HIGHLY recomended to change out the wrap every once in a while so that it won't hold any moisture when not in use and cause the header to crack.
