Personally, I've always been leery about wrapping headers on a street car. Most people wrap their headers in an attempt to manage a heat problem. The arguement for better scavenge effect is all but moot until the tach is pointing at 1-o'clock or better.

In reality, all they're doing is forcing the issue downstream. I've seen many cats fail prematurely on cars using header wrap. Something to consider at least.
