hooker headers

[shooter64]

got my shortys off of craigslist for $75. never used. got one wrapped and coated before work, looks good to me. i love the way the wrapped headers look under the hood. hopefully get them bolted up and have some down pipes bent soon.

Does wrapping them heavily like that create hot spots? I've got a set of uncoated hooker's on my truck, I never thought about wrapping them. As long as it didn't cause an increase in engine temp I think it would be pretty cool.

actually the purpose of wrapping is to cut under hood temps. it cuts the temp greatly and looks cool

Wrapping really does cut down on underhood temps. The heat cycle really eats up the headers though. We wrapped a set on my son's car and after about three years they had rusted through in more places than I ever saw headers rust.

Wrapping headers does cut down on the under hood temps, but it also greatly reduces the life of the headers.
