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.

yeah i bought the new DEI titanium wrap so the same thing wont happen, or i might just get the thing ceramic coated and be done with it and sell the wrap online.

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

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.
