Mikey the engine is looking really sweet! Watch that header wrap. If you do it I would suggest some type of rust preventative(SP?). The wrap seems to accelertate the rust by holding moisture against the steel. I wrapped some headers for my old Toyota and within the year I had rust holes. They were painted with hi-temp spray paint. What worked really well for my Cadillac exhaust was heating it up on an old BBQ and hitting it with VHT high temp flat black. The heat cures the paint, so no flaking. I have heard some hi-temp powder coats are good too, or jet hot.

The funny thing is I know people who have had the wrap on their motorcycles for years and not had a problem. It maybe that they have stainless steel or because the exhausts are not enclosed? IDK. Mine just didn't last. A freind of mine told me it was the type of wrap. Some wraps are more prone to holding moisture. so I guess the moral of the story is protect the metal and read the instructions on the wrap.
