A week or two ago I spotted a picture on here where someone had wrapped their header and exhaust with some kind of tape. I am assuming it was due to the heat issue. I would like to get in touch with anyone who has wrapped them.

Last year I put a Clamp-On Heat Shield on my Ranger. But after three months of nasty burning smell I removed it. I need to put something back on the header/exhaust pipe. Good suggestions welcome?[]

I saw that same post Joe, I think we both asked how he liked it. I think he said he was going to be gone for a while and would report back when he returned and had some time to evaluate the wrap. I always been interested in the wrap not just for heat but I've also heard that it cuts down on noise as well. However, I don't recall very many glowing reports from those using it. Seems like if the stuff is very good at heat/noise reduction a lot more people would be using it... So I'm with Joe, anyone using it, how good is it, pros/cons???

Just be aware that with head wrap it will retain moisture which will greatly promote rust. It does it's job but it has it's down side also.

Look up on summit or jegs web site turbo wrap or header wrap youll find a lot of type to choose from.

What Al said, I ruined a set of headers on my Mach 1 back in the day and it only took about 6 months, but you may be OK where you do most of your riding. Any car performance place should have the wrap Joe.

I had it on mine and the 06 has a SS exhaust and will not rust, got it from Summit, it is called DEI tape.
