Van, are you not running a header heat shield as a result of wrapping them? I'll confess that removing them is a big reason why I want to wrap mine. I'm all about cleaning up/simplifying things under the hood and making the car easier/faster to work on. By the way is that a stahl header?

This was about 1/2 to 2/3rd of a 2" x 50' roll. And don't bother w/ black on a turbo - exhaust gets hot enough that it burns the die out of the wrap, and now its the regular white/tan color....

Van, thats a really nice header! Thanks for all the input guys, I've got a dozen SS zip ties (6 8" long and 6 14" long) and 2 2" x 25' rolls of white wrap on the way. I'll be pulling the headers next weekend to replace the gaskets and while I'm at it I'll wrap em up snug.
