I have a dc 4-1 header and I want to wrap them daily driver gsr motor good or bad idea-

 

bad

 

i heard that it cracks the shi* out of them...

 

cool, thanx that is what I keep hearing why is that?

 

probably, it keeps the heat in

 

well, yea, but wrapping headers are suppose to make them cooler obviously so what kind of headers are ok to wrap-

 

beats the hell out of me... ttt^^^for the young fella...

 

huh? header wrap makes it cooler.....? if anything, it'll keep it hotter by prevent heat from the exhaust gases to escape

 

Header wrap keeps the header itself hotter and the engine bay cooler. Keeping the header hotter speeds the flow of exhaust out.

It can crack the header because moisture can get locked in around it, and can start rusting any scratches etc on the header. you will be better off to send the header off to get a good ceramic coating on it.

Listen to the man. I wrapped a header in the past, and it was destroyed in a year and a half ... mostly due to the wrap keeping moisture against the metal.

 

bad

 

Damn ive always herd it was good to wrap any headers, shivers what kind of header did you have?

 

wrapping ceramic headers is bad since it does rust and crack easily. I've never heard any bad stories about wrapping a stainless header.
