Default header wrap
So my pacesetters should be here tomorrow and I was wondering how much header wrap I need to buy. If anyone has done this before let me know.

If you live in a place that gets any wet weather, I would steer clear of the wrap.. Once it gets wet, it will advance the rusting process....

i wouldnt use header wrap at all, the ceramic coating is plenty of insulation.

I agree, steer clear of the wrap, seems to cause more problems than it helps...

I had mine wrapped as they weren't ceramic coated. I just did the first 8-10" as it really isn't too good for the rust process..and...in winter if they get wet and freeze the headers cud crack. R/
