Who hear has installed aftermarket headers? Im starting to explore this modificaion as it looks to be just to simple to install new ones. How did the install go? What brand did you purchase? Hows the performance/sound gain?
Sorry, I couldn't resist that one.I hope she took care of you
I'd stay away from that header wrap cloth stuff. After spending hours busting my [email protected] doing a tight wrap on my third set Stahl in-line 6 BMW headers my headers rotted out faster than ever before. To me it seems the wrap holds water accelerating the rust process. :cowfrown:I just ordered a set of jba's and exhaust to match. I went with plain stainless and plan to wrap them for a fraction of the cost of ceramic.
I had the same experience when wrapping headers on one of my previous vehicles. The wrap on the lower portion of the headers did hold in water and that part of the header more of less crumbled apart. I won't ever do wrap again, I'll send the headers to JetHot or HPCoatings.I'd stay away from that header wrap cloth stuff.

That's exactly what happened to my headers also. That header wrap is meant for racing only and not for street use.I had the same experience when wrapping headers on one of my previous vehicles.
