Default heat wrap

im thinkin about buyin some header wrap. i heard since it retains the heat better that it can wear down the life of the header if it isnt a good header, i have a DC Sport ceramic, would that be something i should be concerned about? how do u wrap this stuff around the header and how many layers or w/e of this stuff do u put on? does it make a good difference? one of the reasons i want to get it is cuz i have an sri and i think this might help keep just a tad bit of heat away from it, i kno not alot but its better than nothing. install tips and pics would be really helpful.

thanks!

i think that you just go around with one wrap all the way until its covered... people put it on there intake pipes all the time to get colder air going into the engine.... I know DEI makes colored wrap which is pretty cool but that stuff is pretty expensive when you start getting into feet... You will be perfectly fine with wrapping your dc header
