We'll i ordered a 25ft roll of blck header wrap, but the more I look into it the less I wanna do it. I don't want my header to rust off, or any part of my exhaust for that matter. Is there any other application for it that won't have horrible side effects? (I cant/dont wanna use it on my intake since I'm putting a K&N on my stock tube) Thanks in advance fellas'

No other immediate applications that I can see... Just install it on your headers, but be sure to use something like high-temp silicone spray to repel moisture and prevent rust. If you install the wrap properly, you won't have any problems.

I use it on my upper radiator hose because it almost touches my turbo. I also use it on my hard lower radiator hose underneathe. I do have it wrapped from my downpipe to the cat.

Obviously you never used this before. It has fibers in it that like to get in your skin.
someone's never played with fiberglass before!

I was playing with the idea of making a custom heat shield by sandwiching it between two sheets of metal mesh, what do you guys think?

I second.
JUst do what mreigle did Use the header wrap on your downpipe.
Seems like your trying to cooldown your engine. I think this was brought up at one time from an old thread. The engine would still give off heat anyway with/without the wrap.
You could save up an buy a Vader Hood and some would tell you header looks kinda fugly after awhile its been on

There is definitely maintenance with header wrap. I replace mine a couple times a year for show quality. The upper radiator hose I rewrap before any show.

If you have the money you could buy an EVO style hood to cool things down. From what I've read (from non-bias EVO articles too) is they are about the best hood you can buy for cool air in/warm air out. personally, I don't use heat wrap.

Oh, i know. Just a pinch of sarcasm.
We have fiberglass insulation in our house. My brother fell through my ceiling once and that shit was everywhere. Naturally, i was itching and itching and itching for days....... Same thing happened when i fixed a friend's front bumper and didn't wear long sleeves....

I just installed it on my RS-T, had to spray a hi-temp silicone coating… word to the wish you could wet the wrap and it will be a lot easier to install, wear a long sleeve an gloves I didn’t and I wish I did!!! I recommend this product, when I open my hood I don’t feel that all the heat that I did before.

What I've decided to do was, spray the header with a layer of Copper-Spray-A-Gasket, let it turn gunmetal, then wrap it, that should give me a little more rust protection, and I'll definitely change it or take it off every once in a while.
