[V8] header wrap question

[Ron Wainwright]

Yeah, thats what I was told. The wrap will hold
moisture.
 What about somekinda coating. Such as Jethot, swain,
or ceramic?

 But who knows.....I'm not quiet sure this exhaust
will stay on the car for long. What I really want's
the exhaust ends to exit before each tire in the rear.
But @ the same time I'd really all so like to exit a
system the way it's supposed to be with DTM tips.

 But I all so just wanna get this car rolling again.
It's been sitting since last Dec & I'm itching to put
some WRX in my rear view mirror!
