Have had my headers wrapped from day one - no problems after 7 years of use.

I had my headers custom fabricated out of stainless steel, and then had them coated white by Airborn Coatings. I wrapped them, and then sprayed then with VHT white paint (didn't care for the brownish color of the wrap). I actually sprayed VHT silver first, then white - the VHT white alone seemed to dissappear as it soaked into the wrap. The silver seemed to give better coverage, and then I sprayed white over the silver.

Ran into the guy who built my headers a year later, and he said he did not recommend wrapping them. Said the extra heat caused by having them wrapped could cause failure due to hyrogen embrittlement. After some discussion with him, I came to the conclusion that it might be more of an issue for a race car with extremely high temp changes, than it might be on a street-driven car.

Have not taken the wrap off, and have had no problems.

Jeff
