Check pegasus or one of the other race supply companies. I would highly recommend against wrapping your header. Its good for power, but its very likely that it will cause your header to crack and fall apart. The thermal stress induced when you insulate them a bunch will make them expand and contract a lot in normal use and put undue stress on the welds. Most header companies void their warranties on headers that have been wrapped for this exact reason.
Wrapping the intake is a good idea tho. I would suggest having the header Jet-Hot coated. It keeps the heat in, but does stress the part (because its coated on the inside). |
