I bought a used EM.It had wrapped headers.They looked great and engine bay temps were OK.A week later #7( left next to the rear) pipe blew out at the first bend from port.I unwrapped the rest and all were all cracked (many many small crackes and fractures.They were just painted.I was told heat embrittlement was common with wrapped pipes. They keep the heat in at the expense of the headers. I had new headers and sidepipes built and then had them ceramic coated. I'm hopping they will last for ever.
