Default What is the advantage...

Of heat wrapping the headers over ceramic coating them instead? When I had my cat put in (had to get the car legal up here in the NW), the guy at the muffler shop said I'd be better off having my downpipe ceramic coated. Also, those who have the wrapped headers or downpipes, can I cut a hole in the wrapping and not have to unwrap the whole thing? I have to install an O2 sensor to be able to tune the computer and my downpipe is wrapped from the turbo to the joint at the cat. I'd rather not have to unwrap it but will if possible.

Wrapping is cheaper. Coating is better.
