soo im just wondering, im in the process of buying the vibrant header and downpipe. Im wondering if I should heat wrap it? i have some laying around in my garage from my old turbo tc. And if i should heat wrap it, would you recomment just the header or both the header and the downpipe? thanks.

I never heat wrapped mine and it got so hot one day it started to glow.

Dont use heat wrap it will void all warranty for that header.

What exhaust are you running with your header/dp?

i think heat wrap is horrible, but i feel i need a heat shield to divert all that radiated heat from my engine bay sometimes, especially when idling.

Don't go with the wrap.

Get it jet-hot coated before you install it.

well im not made of money so i think ill just go with leaving the heat wrap off. im getting the dual pass endplate soon and the front mount heat exhanger in a month hopefully. Im not too worried of having highish temps. it was just a feeler question. thanks everyone

Yes. It rots out a header.
