vibrant header/ heat wrap

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 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.
