WTF? What does this have to do with header wrap? Why would anyone buy one of those rear-engined pigs when you can hot rod a nice mid-engined car with a stronger motor and have good handling
and rocketship acceleration?
Back on topic...
If the headers are stainless, then I would say yes go ahead and wrap them. If they are mild steel, then I would say definitely do not wrap them. The header wrap that we've used on turbo cars (let me see if I can find any pix... Ok, here's some that my brother did on his daughter's car:
http://www.not2fast.com/vw/cabby/cab2003/) is porous and will hold road dirt (including salts and other corrosive crap), which will eat mild steel in a heartbeat. If you are concerned with getting rid of heat, it's great stuff and can keep various nearby bits hundreds of degrees cooler.
