What are those weights doing there ( extra leverage )

holy $hit!are you serious?!?!?!i tried not to inhale but coundt help inhaling some........btw,the white stuff/insulation was pretty damp(prolly cuz i left it in the garage),so this means the insulation actually helps cooling.i just might go the DEI wrap route.

There you go. dei = good.

Is it possible to wrap the headers and have the wrap last with the heat shields in place?

IMHO spend the extra money and ceramic coat it. Wrap isnt the best way... $140USD for the headers. $280USD to do the headers, downpipe, crossover pipe, and that little one going to the wastegate. 2k degree F Satin Black.

shorty,
Check out performance coatings (http://www.performancecoatings.com/) they have 2000 deg Satin ceramic coating. I got the inside and out of my WRX uppipe and downpipe done by them. I'll be doing my 951 exhaust manifolds eventually.

Swain is the best ( but looks like a mummy :-) )
next is Jet Hot
IMHO
