Thanks, its kind of funny to look back at how the car looks year to hear with so many changes. I tried not to remove the wrap, but the exhaust had a leak and when i was under the car i noticed the ss clamp at the end of the header was broken. Just barely touched the wrap and it fell apart, so i had to remove it(down side to fiberglass header wrap). I have some new wrap sitting at home waiting for the winter when i have time to take the header off and re-wrap it.

yea I was wondering if thats what happened. lol same thing hapened to me. the wrap was so brittle, I felt is was more of a hazzard so I removed it as well. lol'
oh, alos, theres some header wrap coating you may want to look into. it will extend the life of the header wrap big time. I forget the name, but its like a spray can near the hearder wrap at your local auto shop.

if you can get the ceramic done cheap, then go that route. I would have back then, but went cheap, then sold the header due to smog regulations. lol
now Im stock with the exception of a MAM catless midpipe which I may wrap. heard it helps out, much like on the header.

i can get it coated for the price of materials, im thinking about doing my IC piping and the header in a nice shiny ceramic then wrapping the header, need to keep as much heat away from SC inlet as possible

Must be cold there, I can remember waking up to find my car frozen like that in NZ in the middle of winter a few times.
What part of Canada do you live in? |

I'm on the east coast in New Brunswick, just a few hours north of Maine. Right now the temps are hovering right around freezing so i need to hurry up and clean the garage before the tires become slippery on the pavement or before we actually get some snow that will stay around for the winter.
