Great question. I would like to know someone who has done this on an M96 engine also, to see if there are any negative effects.

I used to wrap the headers on my Lola Sports 2000 race car, but that frequently caused the metal to overheat and start cracking welds in the header. I don't know if that would happen with an M96 or not.
