Wrap or not to wrap, that is the question.

Is VHT EXHAUST Flameproof Paint the way to go?

 

lol that was cool. kinda trippy.

gsrxemep3 I hear wrap does help with keeping the heat and getting it away from the motor, so to say the least, its not pointless. I usually wrap mine if im bored and got nothing else to do lol unless I have some nice *** headers that I like the look of hah

 

I've used it before and it's fairly decent if you have a mild steel header that you don't want to rust up. For the price point it's hard to beat. I did a quick spray bomb job with it on the calipers on our racecar and it seems to be holding up fairly well to the extreme temperatures.

I have always preferred jet-coatings for headers. They last a long time and look quite a bit better than the VHT paint, the downside is that obviously it costs more and you have the down time associated with sending your part off to be coated. http://www.jet-hot.com/

 

so i just found out that DC still has a header for my accord, for some reason it thought they were discontinued....

 

Great? Why are you posting about it in this thread? lol

 

Heat wraps good, obviously keeping all the heat in and away from the engine, its always a good thing to keep engine bay temperatures down.

The only downside to it i guess is it CAN cause the manifold to crack, I've seen it a few times, but not so often
