I am going to have to replace my exhaust system soon and am considering installing headers
I have seen many discussions here of headers vs manifolds but not a lot about wrapping or coating the headers. The most frequent complaint about headers seems to be sound and heat.
Wouldn't wrapping the headers help with both heat and sound?
What would be the pros and cons of this?
With today's metal alloys (i.e. Stainless), I would think the rusting from the inside out would not be a problem.
I would like to hear from those of you with more knowledge than me chime in.
Thanks

A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
