don't ever wrap your header. worst thing you could ever do to it. i looked into wrapping mine and it will drstroy your pipe. look online about wrapping header and you will see. i had my header jet hot coated and it is the best. but header wrap noooooo way

From what I hear its ok to wrap your header as long as you start about 2" away from the engine. any closer and it builds crazy hot temps and will come apart. but again, I haven't done it but have seen it done with everything turning out ok

i heard somewhere (don't quote me on it) that wrapping your exhaust system causes condensation in your pipes causing rust. I'm not saying don't do it; just look into that rumor.

I realize this thread is ridiculously old, but +1 to jet-hot, the shop I worked at sent tons of stuff to them for coating, and it always came back flawless.

There are oil additives and different coolants, you will here pros and cons to all of them though.
