Thanks, Hugger, it was fun. The DEI wrap kept underhood heat way down, looked cool, and was eerily quiet, especially in underground parking garages. The human ear barely heard the rumble, but all the alarms on the little BMWs would bark as she rolled by. Lasted 7 years in Arizona.
But do as I say and not as I do, and never wrap your headers, unless you're racing. Reasons: 1]Voids lifetime header warranty. 2] Moisture gets trapped in the weave and slowly rusts the piping.
Here's a shot of my old hedders after the drivers side blew out...
