W, save a mall amount of wrap for the exhaust just below the cv shaft.
I noticed a pretty drastic change in temp of the shaft/rubber by doing this. Has to help prolong the joint I would think.

My cover required some additional clearance, so I used washers as spacers. 9 washers, i.e., 3 per bolt.

Check the stock bellows. If you flex it and you can hear or feel a grinding as it moves, the bellows is broken. IMHO for any stock headers, I would proactively do the following:
Weld the tube to plate joints. Compare this pic to yours and youll see what I mean. I had multiple leaks out of these spots.
And replace the bellows with a modern flex section.
