Header Wrap

Can you wrap headers installed on the truck?

The Cause and The Reason:

The Cause is starter heat soak

The Reason, headers are welded to pipes.

Re: Header Wrap

You are WAY better off with a heat shield.
Header wrap will shorten the life of a header by at least 50%... if not more.
You oughta look into a starter too.

Re: Header Wrap

header wrap is supposed to hold moisture to the header and cause them to rust out exponentially faster.
