Headers

[hwrdbd]

Should I wrap them? pros and cons. I've heard people say it holds in moisture but I'm hoping someone here has some hands on experience. Thanks

Not much experience with it, but may I suggest getting them ceramic coated if you are worried about trapping moisture.

I would coat them. Pass on the rust wrap.

Dont have first hand experience myself, but I have heard numerous times from loads of people that header wrap can cause premature cracking, and everyone I know that has put headers on any car has never used a wrap so take that for what its worth.

Ceramic coating would get my vote as well.

Mine are coated and my all my exhaust pre turbo is wrapped with titanium header wrap. It's supposed to not not oil or moisture.

I had my 6.4 single kit exhaust wrapped never had an issue with rust.. your talking 400-1300 degrees for hours and it's like fiberglass. Not sure how the moisture would collect on it? I know if you exhaust wrap stuff that isn't covered it will rust because the rain water collects on it when it isn't running. Only time your headers should see rain is when the trucks running so the water should evaporated almost instantly. But on the coating side it sure looks a hell of a lot better
