RE: [MarcosManiacs] Header Wrap & Hot Cockpits

2001-08-29 by David Skora

Hi Paul
I just got off the phone with the tech line of Thermo-tec. He said in the
past 15 years they have been selling the wrap, the only reduction of header
life has been due to wrapping old headers, not letting the wrap dry after
installation, or some people double wrap them. I wrapped my pipes a little
"gappy" here and there and also wrapped 2 of the pipes together. I am more
interested in reducing under hood temps. He said using the wrap for this
purpose should not affect my headers life.
