HEADER WRAP A PROBLEM??

[kARLUG]

I INSTALLED A SET OF SVSI HEADERS ON MY RT THAT WERE UNCOATED AND INSTALLED HEADER WRAP TO HELP ELIMINATE SOME HEAT. I'VE HEARD THAT THE WRAP CAN BE PRETTY DETRIMENTAL TO THE HEADERS
(RUST DUE TO TRAPPED MOISTURE AND ALSO METAL FAILURE
DUE TO TRAPPED HEAT AND HOT SPOTS). I'M NOT TOO CONCERNED ABOUT RUST AS THE HEADERS ARE STAINLESS STEEL BUT THE THOUGHT OF MY HEADERS FALLING APART WORRIES ME. ANY EXPERIENCES OR COMMENTS WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

With a little finesse you may be able to re-install the stock heat shields. I had Borla headers and was able get them back on. It required a little cutting and bending of the shields but once on looked OEM. Just my .002
