Default Header wrap
has anyone used header wrap on any portion of their S4? Did you find it to be worthwhile? I have used it on a number of cars in the past and found it to be beneficial on some and not others. Any pictures?

Thanks,

Dan

Default Not completely true...
Ask Zerin and his mechanic...they wrapped ALOT of his piping, including his downpipes. Not completely sure of the rational...
but more than just him have done it.

Default As dpd stated...
It's not a good idea for a street car. It will reduce the manifolds life.

I think Jet-Hot coating is a better idea. Pat-So-Cal-Avant commented recently on header wrap.

OK - question, do high-flow downpipes DECREASE or INCREASE lag. Saw this post from Mr. Fletcher
