Default thermal exhaust wrap

i'm gonna be do a thermal wrap on my headers, but the only thing that is bugging me is because i drive me car year round and so i do drive thru snow at times. will the thermal wrap soak in the water and salt from the roads and eventually over time corode my header faster? is it better not to wrap it

I wrapped my old turbo manifold with that stuff and never had a problem.. It never was wet when I checked it, I think that if water does get on it its just going to burn off since the header is hot..
