wrapping vs coating
I've been trying to get more info as to the benefits of both but most of what I find is just their company saying their product is better. I live in socal and am going to be getting some LT headers but not sure which is better? has anyone done both?

I've heard wrap keeps it cooler under the engine bay but makes the headers crack. Just want to see the experience of other people out there |

I had mine ceramic coated. Helps with under hood temps, looks great, and a lot easier! Cost me $225 at a local shop.

The starter need a wrap. Too much header wrap is bad for the stainless steel. There is DIY header coatings. Zycoat.

Swain tech is the only real ceramic coating you can get. the others are all just paint. https://swaintech.com/race-coatings/...tive-coatings/
