My car came from Reno NV where it competed in Virginia City Hill Cimb and had with wrapped headers. The wrapped headers looked great and underhood temps were OK. A week later the first turn on #7 let loose. I had fiberglass fibers everywhere. Once I unwrapped the rest of the headers , there were so many (large and tiny) fractues (looked like a web)that it was obvious there was no saving that set of headers. Once I had a new working set of headers and sidepipes, I had them ceramic coated inside and out. I had headers, collectors, and turn out pipes and three sets of interchangable 3 1/2" mufflers, EM original, Low-Bak, and open striaght pipes, no glasspaks. It all looks like polished alluminum. the car also came with heatsheilds for the nearby body areas like the footboxes. Thin skin layer of alluminum and a 1/2" thick layer of stiff fiberglass mat insulation
